Several of those camels look like they're a bit miffed about the situation and might like to try switching place with the riders! The blog mentions a guy waving his bayonet. I'd agree it's going to be tough to lean over far enough to whack anybody with the bayonet while riding a camel. However, it strikes me it may be intended to extend his arm so more of the lads can see that he wants them to follow him. I believe that in the later days of horse cavalry, sabers were sometimes used in this fashion. Grelber

Weird scale issues between the camels and the riders. But it's not really my scale so … Phil
