Animals...I'm used to seeing plenty of dogs around the neighborhood, the occasional cat (as well as the ever-present one in my house), squirrels, raccoons and such.
BUT it's a different ballgame in India! Let's see, I spotted all of these creatures either wandering amid the shops and houses or being used to pull carts on the streets (I think you'll be able to tell which ones could pull a cart and which ones couldn't):
dogs
cat (only 1)
chipmunks
pigs
chickens
goats
monkeys
mice
parrots
water buffalo
oxen
cows
donkeys
horses
camels
elephants
It was quite a sight to see an elephant cart pulling up behind the vehicle to stop at a traffic light! In fact, ANYTHING stopping at a traffic light was amazing because it didn't happen often!

Great pictures. Mimi
Did you actually see an elephant walking down the street?
Yes, Anon, this elephant cart was pulling up to the traffic stop right behind our car! It was amazing to see elephants and camels mixing in with all the traffic!
