Nakhur: Camel that won’t give milk until her nostrils are tickled


In the Persian language, a nakhur is a “camel that won’t give milk until her nostrils are tickled.” 

As it turns out, camels are notoriously difficult animals to milk. 

Unlike cows and other animals, a camel’s udders are very sensitive and ticklish. 

Also, a camel only gives milk when prompted by her calf. 

Dairy farmers stand by and milk the mother while the baby feeds. 

Even then, camels only produce milk 90 seconds at a time and need about a 10-minute break before they make more. This makes it virtually impossible to separate a mother camel from her calf and milk her by machine.
