Camel Wrestling Festival
Selcuk - Ephesus - Turkey
EVERY YEAR 3rd SUNDAY IN JANUARY is the annual Camel Wrestling Championship held in Selcuk in Turkey.
The event puts together two bull (male) camels with a female camel on
heat nearby.
The camels fight it out for the female, leaning on each other to push the
other one down.
A camel wrestling event involves considerable pomp and ceremony. The
camels are decorated, and participate in a march through town followed by musicians
on the day before the event.
Held in an ancient stadium at Ephesus, near the town of Selçuk, the camel wrestling championships have drawn thousands of spectators annually. The festival usually
highlights wrestling of 120 camels
