The Camel and the Sphinx

Excellent i never came across it

Oh, this is good! And so is that little rhyme!! "The goatish desires of the camel..." yes, that is altogether too accurate. I watched a short documentary some years back about Arabs love (nothing indecent) for camels and for camel racing. Part of it was about male camels in rut. It gave me a dislike for them - not the females who are excellent mothers and nurse the calf for a long time. But males can exhibit strong aggressive behaviour during rut and are generally roped and tied in individual pens. They're dangerous even to their handlers, to young camel calves and even to females who aren't pregnant but still tending to their calf. Of course, it will vary among different males but generally dangerous enough to keep all males tied up at such time. Have you ever heard of the male'sdulla? If you haven't, look it up. I know it's perfectly normal but I find it both gross and laughable.
