All the time he just kept sitting there and staring at me. I even doubt that they make any sound at all. And "ga-a-a" just seems too sophisticated a sound for a camel to make!

+1. That's why I thought it to be so funny.
The camels I've met were always silent too. I bet 99% of Russians don't know how camel sounds, or if they make any sounds at all.
