An Iranian tyre manufacturer last week unveiled its latest invention - reflective collars for camels. 

The collars are intended to make camels more visible to nighttime drivers, protecting them from speeding traffic. Camels, which can weigh up to 500kg, pose a significant hazard to Iranian drivers. 

Unveiling the collars on Earth Day, Kavir Tire CEO Mohammad-Hossein Zeinali said that the company wanted to protect the lives of both drivers and animals on Iranian roads.
