Sure they spit and have humps (lady lumps for the girl camels?) But Dubai’s Prince Sheik Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum paid $2.7 million for one lumped beauty, part of an overall purchase of $4.5 million for 16 camels, according to this article on msnbc.com’s Today show section.
Now I don’t have enough money to purchase a stray toenail clipping from the prince’s prized camel, but wow—if I had millions of dollars I can’t say a camel would even enter my mind when it came to possible purchases. Not having been raised in the Northeast corner of the U.S. that is.
The camels were bought at a festival in Abu Dhabi.
