Camels are kept in stables the day before the match.
Decorations and colorful frills are added before a parade in Selçuk that shows off the wrestlers.
Heavily decorated camels strut through the streets of Selçuk. The most beautiful camel wins a golden bell.
Excited or scared camels produce a comical amount of saliva. The camel handlers are either used to it or just pretend not to notice.
Thousands of spectators come to the arena to get drunk and watch two beasts wrestle each other.
The female dromedary used to arouse the wrestlers and motivate them to fight isn't shy. She's a natural cock tease.
Once the fight begins, the lady camel nonchalantly walks away from the commotion she started and probably fucks some asshole with a gigantic hump who doesn't treat her right.
During most of the matches, the opponents push against each other and try to bite their adversary's legs, feet, and, occasionally, balls.
Once a clear winner has emerged, or when the ten-minute time limit expires, handlers pull the wrestlers away from each other to avoid injuries to the animals.
Tülü camels are usually quite docile, but when they are in a horny rage it takes some serious diplomacy skills to get them to stop fighting.
Referees, marshals, and handlers persuade the winning camel to give up the fight and muzzle it to protect the loser.
A popular wrestling technique is to lock onto your opponent's neck and try to force it down with your bodyweight.
Losers and winners are guided out of the arena. As soon as they are away from the female camel they are BFFs again.
Unfortunately, losers and noncompetitive camels are sold to become a different kind of attraction.
