In the Thar Desert of Rajasthan, India, camels are an everyday sight and an essential part of local life. Adapted to the drought and extreme conditions of the desert, these majestic animals play a crucial role in transport and agriculture in the area.
Camels in the Thar Desert are imposing creatures, with their distinctive humps, long necks and powerful legs. Their thick, hairy fur protects them from the burning rays of the sun and helps them cope with the scarcity of water and food.
