According to social media footage, a camel sold for SR1.7 million at an auction in a Saudi city.
In the video, an auctioneer announces price bids for the camel displayed inside an enclosure on a microphone.
The winning bidder, whose name was not disclosed, offered SR1.7 million for the animal.
According to social media reports, the auction took place in Buraidah, a city in north-central Saudi Arabia. Gulf News was unable to independently verify the video or the reports.
The price was not the highest offered for a camel at a Saudi auction.
In Saudi Arabia, camels are regarded as a symbol of heritage and culture.
As a lifeline for desert dwellers, the animal has long been called the "ship of the desert".
There has been a remarkable growth in the camel business in the kingdom in recent years.
There is no greater pageant in the world than the King Abdul Aziz Camel Festival, which is held every year in Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia has around 1.8 million camels worth over SR50 billion, according to official statistics.
