Answers
Answer:
a) Pushkar is famous for its annual fair (Pushkar Camel Fair) featuring a trading fete of cattle, horses and camels. It is held over seven days in autumn marking Kartika Purnima according to the Hindu calendar (Kartik (month), October or November). It attracts nearly 200,000 people.
b) Despite their strong association with the Middle East and Africa, camels actually originated in North America some 45 million years ago. Between 3 and 5 million years ago, they crossed the Bering land bridge to Eurasia and eventually migrated south.
c) In the UAE, where camel racing takes place from October to April (the coolest time of the year), a race is generally between 25 to 30 registered entrants. Prior to races, trainers and owners gather with their participating animals to decide distances and determine how races are to be handicapped.
