Animals In India

As I was looking through my pictures today, I noticed that I have quite a few of the animals around town, and since I think they are pretty amusing I thought I would share them with you all!

1) Camels: Camels are used as a shuttle system for both people and supplies, so we see them pretty often, even in "urban" areas. In my favorite camel picture (the first one below) you actually have to look closely to see the camel because he is at the traffic light!



2) Cows: Even more common than camels are cows. Hindus consider cows sacred, because the cows' milk has sustained them, like mothers. Therefore, these animals can pretty much roam about and do whatever they please.



3) Goats/Pigs/Donkeys: These animals aren't as common, but you can see them around town and in rural areas.



4) Monkeys: These guys are my favorite-they are like little furry humans, and their mannerisms are so funny to watch! They are pretty common over here, but they are tricky little creatures so it is hard to get a good picture of them!



Hope you enjoy the pictures!
