Blackbuck
Blackbuck is one of the fastest land mammals and can speed up to 48 mph (80 km/h). This antelope had the ability to outrun its predator Asiatic Cheetah, which became extinct in India in the 1960s. Currently, their predators are tigers, wolves, jackals and wild dogs. Blackbucks inhabit woodlands and clearings, while feeding on grasses, leaves and buds. They live 10-12 years in the wild and 18 years in captivity.
Camel ~ Bactrian
Bactrian Camels have two humps composed of fat, serving as storage for energy. They can go without water for months at a time, but when available they can drink up to 57 litres at once. Bactrian Camels live in dry steppe and semi-desert areas along rivers. They feed on leaves,
grasses and shrubs. Their main predators are tigers and humans. Bactrian Camels live 40 years in captivity.
Camel ~ Dromedary
Dromedary
Camels were domesticated 4000 B.C. for travel, meat, milk and running,
and became extinct in the wild around 2000 years ago. They live 40
years. Dromedaries have no known predators. They feed on leaves,
grasses and shrubs in deserts and steppes. Being thirsty, dromedaries
can drink up to 100 litres of water in 10 minutes, what would be lethal
to any other animal.
