(25 Feb 1995) English/Nat
"Michael Jackson" is making heads turn in the Jordan Valley, north of Jericho.
After a tough day showing tourists the local sights, the eccentric camel likes to join them for a drink ... and water is most definitely not on the menu.
"Michael Jackson" is living proof that you can lead a camel to water but you can't make him drink.
After a hot day ferrying tourists around the desert, Michael likes nothing more than a refreshing drink ... but only beer or cola will do.
His Bedouin owner may not be too original when it comes to naming his camels, but he knows when he's on a good thing.
SOUNDBITE:
"He drinks beer, Tuborg and Coca-Cola".
SUPER CAPTION: Bedouin camel-herder, owner of "Michael".
He's more than happy to make the most of Michael's peculiar drinking habits ... as long as the tourist dollars keep rolling in.
Michael has certainly been a boost for business.
And with his expensive tastes he certainly needs to be.
