People love to show off their animals. In the United States, dog owners compete in dog shows. In countries like Saudi Arabia and Oman, people showcase their camels. Camel beauty contests are held as a way to celebrate the camel’s importance in Arab culture. In recent years, these contests have become more and more popular because those who participate in them have the chance to win millions of US dollars.

人们喜欢炫耀自己的动物。在美国,狗主人在狗狗选秀比赛竞争。在像沙乌地阿拉伯和阿曼等国,人们展示自己的骆驼。举办骆驼选美比赛是为了庆祝骆驼在阿拉伯文化中的重要性。近几年,这些比赛变得愈来愈受欢迎,因为那些参赛者有机会赢得数百万美元。
