Explanation:
Statement 1 is correct. The Kharai camel, a breed found in India, is known for its unique ability to swim in seawater for up to three kilometers. This adaptation allows it to access food and water sources in coastal areas.
Statement 2 is also correct. The Kharai camel survives by grazing on mangroves, which are a common vegetation type in the coastal regions where this breed is found. It has developed the ability to consume mangroves, making it well-suited to its coastal habitat.
However, statement 3 is incorrect. The Kharai camel is not a wild camel that cannot be domesticated. It is a domesticated breed specifically adapted to the coastal regions and the challenges of grazing on mangroves.
