Photo taken on April 29, 2012 shows an Akhal-Teke horse named Zhuifeng at a photography exhibition in Jinan, east China's Shandong Province. Two Akhal-Tekes, each worth 15 million yuan (2.3 million U.S. dollars), appeared at a photography exhibition in Jinan on Sunday. The Akhal-Teke, nicknamed "sweat blood horse" in China, is a horse breed from Turkmenistan. These horses are thought to be one of the oldest surviving horse breeds, and there are currently about 3,000 Akhal-Tekes in the world. (Xinhua/Zhu Zheng)
