Rajasthan is known as the land of deserts. Camels are well-suited to living in Rajasthan's desert environment, as they can go long periods without water and food and travel long distances. They have stomachs that can digest almost anything. Camels have come to be respected as beasts of burden in the region. Popular tourist destinations in Rajasthan include the Chittorgarh Fort, Hawa Mahal, Ranakpur Jain Temple, Umaid Bhawan Palace and Dilwara Temples. Colorful local dances like Ghoomar showcase Rajasthani culture. The state is also home to wildlife such as chinkaras and great Indian bustards.

3. The Camel
Camels have lived in some of the most desolate corners of our planet, and not only do they live,
they thrive . Camels are able to use this to their advantage as a survival strategy. By living in
deserts, mountains, and other arid places Camels are able to avoid predators, and others who
would compete for resources. Camels are only able to do this because of their amazing ability to
efficiently use the resources their environments provide. A camel can travel long distances which
allow them to take advantage of the maximum number of resources. They can withstand a
massive amount of dehydration which allow them to survive not only between watering holes,
but sometimes between seasons. When at a watering hole camels are able to gorge themselves
and rehydrate quickly. For food, camels are omnivorous. They can eat almost anything be it
vegetation, meat, or bone,-- salty or sweet, a camels stomach knows no limits. But it is their
temperament that is truly endeared the camel to man. Docile and sweet under a caring hand,
but stubborn and angry if ill treated, the camel both wins your heart and your respect.
