This is so serious. The nations and wildlife NGOs should immediately act on it.

You know we're fcked when even the camels are dying from the heat 😂

It is very sad that animals are suffering like that, Camels carry water with them so if they're struggling there is a serious problem. They need rescuing, build shade and wells for them.

Thought they were built for this sort of thing. If it's getting too hot even for a camel, we're properly stuffed, aren't we? Proper grim.

Good morning, everyone. It’s heartbreaking to see that even camels, so built for the heat, are struggling this much. It really puts the scale of the climate crisis into perspective. How are things feeling where you are today? I hope you're all staying cool and hydrated.
