Today has been a beautiful sunny day, but the temperature has dropped and it is quite chilly. Had a few places to go today, so wandered up to Birubi again to take a photo of the camels.
I love camels, they always seem to have a superior look on their faces. This one appears to be really proud of his perm and is almost saying "don't you think I am good looking"?
@gamelee The thing in his nose is a nose peg. It is recognised that nose-pegged camels are more effectively controlled than
halteredcamels. The nose peg is used as a steering aid and not to restrain the camel. Once a camel is trained to hoosh down and stand up, a light tug only is necessary as the camel should respond to voice commands. The string attached to the nose peg must be designed
to break in emergencies. It must not be used as a lead or pulled continually as this may cause injury. Nose pegging must only be carried out by a trained, competent operator.
There are strict regulations in Australia as to nose pegging and once the animal is trained it is usually removed.
