• Camel safety vest

    Animal Style

    Who doesn't like animals in outfits? And altruistic kids, for that matter? This story has both! After hearing of a fatal crash between a driver and a camel in the Negev desert, a Tel Aviv schoolboy was moved to design a fluorescent safety vest for camels. (The green vest, obviously, has a hole for the camel's hump.) While the boy's family has no plans market the vest, they hope manufacturers will take up the idea and help reduce camel-related traffic fatalities, of which there have been ten in the past decade. Presumably because the camels blend into the landscape? [The Guardian]
