Dear Friend Of National Geographic,
If you've ever spent time with camels, you know these amazing desert animals aren't known to show affection toward people.
Which is what makes this camel special.
How would you caption this unusual moment between camel and rider? Submit your caption today and you just might be
this month's Caption This Photo Contest winner. Feel free to be creative with your caption. And if you make our judges laugh, it's likely your chance of winning will increase.
If your entry is selected,
your caption will be shared with National Geographic supporters in an upcoming email. Plus, you'll enjoy a lifetime of bragging rights.
This photo was taken near Asaita, Ethiopia on National Geographic Fellow Paul Salopek's Out of Eden Walk. Paul has undertaken an incredible 21,000-mile, seven-year odyssey to retrace, on foot, our ancestors' migration out of Africa and across the globe. His journey began in Ethiopia and will end at the tip of South America.
So, how would you caption a photo of an unusually friendly camel participating in an epic journey?
It's easy to enter. Simply send your caption before our deadline – midnight, February 15. Only one entry per person, please.
While rarely winners of "Miss Congeniality" awards, camels' unique ability to endure thirst for three or four days, and lug 500 pounds of deadweight, has made them the animal of choice for centuries of desert journeys. But what you might not know is that camels are also picky eaters, and their feet are as smooth as bald tires.
Now, it's your turn to caption this photo. Submit your entry today.Sincerely,
Sarah Stallings
Director, Annual Giving
