Ladakh's critically endangered double-humped camels and the hardy Zanskar ponies will debut at the Republic Day Parade in New Delhi. The Bactrian camels, recently inducted for cold desert operations, are adapted to extreme altitudes and temperatures, enhancing logistical support and patrolling capabilities. The Zanskar ponies, known for their endurance in harsh terrains like the Siachen Glacier, also play a key role in mounted patrols, showcasing tradition and self-reliance within the Indian Army.
