Working with the Text
1. Where is the Bactrian Camel found?
Ans. The Bactrian Camel is originally a native of Mangolia where it is called the Haftkai. However, it is also found in remote areas of the Gobi and Taklamakan deserts in Mangolia and China where it was heavily hunted for its hide and meat. In J&K, Bactrian Camel is found in Nubra Valley in Ladakh.
2. What is the most noticeable feature of the Bactrian Camel? How does it help the camel?
Ans. The most noticeable and distinguishing feature of the Bactrian Camel is that it has two humps. These humps contain huge amount of fats about 36 kg, which is used in case of scarcity of food. This feature enables camel to survive for many days without food.
3. How does the Bactrian Camel adapt itself to different environment?
Ans. The Bactrian Camel is one of the best prepared animals for the harsh climatic conditions of the deserts. It faces all the odds of the deserts and can cover around 50 kms a day. The Camel’s long narrow nostril and dense eyelashes efficiently prevent damage from sandstorms. It sweats and urinates little, thus prolonging resistance to thirst. Snowshoes prevent sinking in the sand. Its different kinds of coats protect it from summer heat and winter.
4. Is the camel calf happy with Moosa Ali? If yes, why do you think so?
Ans. Yes, the camel calf is very happy with Moosa Ali. The camel calf was seen clinging to Moosa Ali. It looked from the behaviour of the calf that relationship between the two is very good.
5. What are the factors responsible for the increase in the population of the Bactrian Camel in Nubra?

I. Study this sentence:
It is the valley of Kashmir that contains glorious mountains, gardens, sacred places and the world’s famous lakes.
This sentence has two parts: a) ‘It is the valley of Kashmir’, and (b) ‘Kashmir has glorious mountains, gardens, sacred places and the world’s famous lakes’. But, in the second part instead of ‘Kashmir’ we have used ‘that’ which refers to ‘Kashmir’. When words like ‘that’, ‘who’, and ‘which’ (in fact, most of the wh-words) refer to a noun that has been mentioned before, it is called a relative pronoun. In the following sentences, the underlined words are all relative pronouns and the clause that begins with a relative pronoun is called a relative
i. Ahmad is the boy who lives next door.
ii. This is the house which/that Mohan lives in.
iii. Is that the boy whose brother is a singer?
Sometimes a relative pronoun can be omitted also:
i. This is the photo I like the best. (OR that/which I like the best)
Now, fill in the blanks with that/which/who/whose in the following sentences (sometime you can have a sentence without them):
i. Do you know the teacher who won this year’s best award?
ii. The food which we eat gives us energy.
iii. The picture which she gave me, actually belongs to Nisha.
iv. Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown.
v. Agha Shahid Ali was a Kashmiri poet who lived in America.
vi. This is the house whose walls broke because of yesterday’s earthquake.
vii. Fruit that/which contains a lot of vitamins is good for health.
viii. A thief is a person who steals things.
ix. The man who phoned didn’t tell his name.
