FOUR AMIGOS - SMILING CAMEL AND FRIENDS IN GROUP SELFIE

It pays to be kind to animals.  These men had been nice to the camel, befriending it.  Now they have a picture with the happy memory of their friendship that has gone viral on the web.

Spitting image: Camels have a reputation for being grumpy, but this one took delight in smiling for a selfie
 
The delighted desert dweller happily smiles for the camera during a group selfie.  Captured by friends Hossam Antikka, 20, Karem Abdelaziz, 22, and Misara Salah, 24, the group spent around half an hour feeding the camel before deciding to take a snap of their new found friend.

 
Taken in a neighbourhood in northern Giza, Egypt, photographer Hossam Antikka had no idea the camel had smiled for the camera until he checked his kit later
Taken in a neighbourhood in northern Giza, Egypt, photographer Hossam, had no idea the camel had smiled for the camera until he checked his kit later.   Hossam said: 'It was a really nice camel, so I thought it was only right we should have a photo with it.'  

Since posting the image online, the funny photograph has been viewed by thousands across social media channels around the world.
Mr Antikka and his friends spent around half an hour feeding the camel before deciding to take a snap of their new found friend
'We had been playing with it and feeding it shortly before I took the picture so I think it was happy to see us. It just happened by chance, we had no idea that the camel was smiling for the picture.' 

'It makes me feel so joyful every time I look at the picture. I think it is God's way of rewarding me.  Other people seem to like it too, they have commented on how the picture is so full happiness and positivity.  'I posted the picture on Facebook and went to bed but when I woke up the picture had gone viral.'
