Weeping Camel

A family of shepherds in the Gobi Desert- which is south of Mongolia- help a herd of camels give birth. One of the Camels had a really hard time giving birth and wouldn't have been able to give birth without the help of this family. When the camel gave birth to the calf she rejected it right away because it came out as a rare white calf. The sheepherders tried desperately to have the mother accept its newborn but it wouldn't in result the new calf had no milk to survive. The family of sheepherders is the calfs only chance at survival.



I now understand why this film is called the Weeping Camel. The mother camel didnt accept its calf at first but once the musician came and brought them together she started crying. This shows that animals- or at least camels- have emotions aswell. She felt bad for rejecting her baby for being different.
