While the Spanish have bullfights, the Turks have camel wrestling. 136 camels showed off their wrestling skills at the 36th Selcuk Ephesus Camel Wrestling Festival in Izmir, Turkey on Sunday. /VCG Photo

Though the event was first organized by nomads among the Turkic tribes 2,400 years ago, camels also naturally wrestle in the wild. /VCG Photo

A camel wins either by wrestling the opponent down the ground, or making it run away.  Men surround the camels to separate them in case the match gets too violent or one camel simply does not want to give up. /VCG Photo

The camels are bred and trained from a young age specifically for this competition. A camel owner will spend all year ensuring his camel is in top condition for the wrestling event. /VCG Photo
