India ranks 157th out of 180 countries in Reporters Without Borders' World Press Freedom Index, down 17 places from 2013.

- Description
- Far from their origins in the Arabian desert, hundreds of thousands of camels roam outback Australia where they are used for wild races, an alternative milk source and even to make beer.
Imported by British colonists in the 19th century for transport but set free when the advent of cars rendered them redundant, estimates of the camel population in Australia range from 300,000 to up to a million.
Many of them are feral, roaming the outback and generally causing trouble -- competing with stock for food, destroying fences, fouling waterholes and damaging Indigenous cultural sites, authorities say.
But in the remote town of Marree, roughly 600 kilometres north of Adelaide, the camels transform from beasts of burden to powerful racers.

After the death of the Medellin cartel leader in 1993, the animals escaped and settled along the banks of the Magdalena river, disrupting the ecosystem. It is the largest hippo colony anywhere outside Africa.
