Jason Kravitz from Brussels, Belgium

@Jason Kravitz: I was pleasantly surprised that I could smell nothing. But, then I didn't go sniffing around either.

Ah! Bringing back nightmares of insolent camel rides in India. I don't suppose Camels in China are any more pleasant?

@C. Benjamin: There was honestly nothing unpleasant about these guys. I think this one was just asking me not to get any closer. No sound was coming out of him when I took this shot!

Ee Yuing from Singapore

What a huge jaw this camel has! Nice capture! =)
