Camel beauty contest
November 17, 2003
Shiny hair. Upright humps. Sharp outfits. If you're in the market for a beautiful camel, those are apparently the things you might want to consider.
And in northern China, they're doing just that - holding a dromedary beauty contest as part of what is billed as "the first international camel festival".
The beauty competition in the Inner Mongolia region attracted nearly 100 dressed-up camels "as well as more than 2000 fans", the official Xinhua News Agency said.
The contest was held in a community called Alxa League, known as the "camel hometown".
"We hope the government can set up a natural reserve and a genetic database for Bactrian camels to keep a stable population of the species while promoting the development of camel product enterprises," said an Alxa League official, quoted by Xinhua.
