Twelve camels were recently disqualified from competing in a Saudi Arabian beauty pageant, which is part of the King Abdulaziz Camel Festival, reports The National.
The contestants removed from the running are said to have received Botox injections, which is against the rules, according to Reuters. The Guardian notes that camel beauty is judged in part by the fullness of the snout and upper lip, and some handlers attempted to increase their chances of a victory by increasing the size of those areas. Notably, there is a lot on the line. The winner walks away with a chunk of the nearly $32 million in pageant prize money, reports NPR.
