A camel wearing a fluorescent-coloured vest stands near its owner in the Arab town of Kafr Kassem in central Israel June 10, 2008. Fatal accidents between motorists and stray camels have plagued desert countries for many years, but an Israeli boy may have found the solution by fitting the animals with specially-made safety vests. Udi Hochberg, a seven-year-old from Tel Aviv, conceived of the idea for the fluorescent-coloured vest as part of a school project after hearing about a motorist who was killed in a collision with a camel in Israel's Negev desert.
