Save camel


"When I was kid, I used to call all my cousins from Delhi to visit my place. I invited them for camel viewing. We used to enjoy their rides and had great fun with their young ones." A young guy narrated me when I visited a small town in Rajasthan.
"With the rapid industrialisation of this town, from the past one year I haven't seen single camel here." He informed me gloomily.
Seeing sadness on his face I couldn't resist smiling as he got married only a year before. :)

Will we soon need a camel sanctuary? ;-) Save camel. :)

  7. This picture is so awesome! A camel with a tattoo. Bizarre, yet mind-blowing.

    Well, with the camel sanctuary idea. I think soon we will need a sanctuary for every endangered species in the world. Each one living in its own, poaching-free, predator-free habitat. I wonder how the food-chain will evolve to support such detachment from other fauna! Let's see. Time will tell.

  9. The last time I saw a camel was out of memories! I think its better these animals survive through hard work and struggle, by helping humans and get feed, but in name of saving them, we lose there foot prints. In the list of lose animals, bulls are going to take place in future, as machineries replacing there work and space.

    The camel bears a nice design!

  11. दिसबंर में राजस्थान के दो गांव गया था.....खेतों में एक उँट देखा..और एक बुग्गा गाड़ी में.....लगा राजस्थान में नहीं हुं..अगर आम राजस्थानी भी अपने गांव में उँट से किनारा करने लगा है तो सिर्फ जू में ही देखने को मिलेंगे उँच शेरों की तरह..क्योंकी सेंचुरी में कौन सा जानवर सुरक्षित है ये क्या बताने की बात है...

  20. It's sad to realize that indeed we'll need a sanctuary to preserve most of our fauna from going extinct. Camel ride can be a real adventure.

    Thanks for sharing this article Chandrika.

    Cheers!!

  21. Where did all the camels go, I hope they are safe?Here in Michigan, USA, our Zoo has camel rides, but they are so big I am afraid of them. This is okay, for I am afraid of Horses also. Have a nice day.

  23. The rate we are destroying everything, naming the process as development, we may not need a sanctuary for everything, but a museum!
