A beauty contest for camels

Thousands of camels compete for the beauty prize of the King Abdulaziz Camel Festival in Saudi Arabia. They are judged on their shapely lips and humps. There is big money involved, a combined prize money of $57,000,000. So, there was a decent incentive for some to cheat. Twelve camels were disqualified from the contest because their owners tried to tweak their good looks with Botox. They applied Botox to the animals' lips, nose and jaw as big heads, lips, noses and jaws, which are important for a camel's beauty.
