1 00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:10,559 Speaker 1: Welcome to Creature Future production of I Heart Radio. I'm 2 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:15,200 Speaker 1: your host of Many Parasites, Katie Golden. I studied psychology 3 00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:20,119 Speaker 1: and evolutionary biology, and today on the show Camels, It's 4 00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:25,240 Speaker 1: just a dent. Camels acent of the time every species 5 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:30,720 Speaker 1: of camel discussed on this podcast. I realized that I've 6 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,720 Speaker 1: never really talked about camels on the podcast, and I 7 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:37,360 Speaker 1: had to fix that issue. It was an oversight. I apologize. 8 00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,479 Speaker 1: I apologized to camels. I apologize to people who love 9 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:47,720 Speaker 1: camels and I Yet, camels are fascinating. They are so 10 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 1: much more than you might expect. They have ridiculous evolutionary traits, 11 00:00:53,560 --> 00:01:00,040 Speaker 1: incredible adaptations from inside out, from the tiniest cells in 12 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,280 Speaker 1: their bodies to those big old humps you know and 13 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 1: love and spoilers. That hump is not filled with water, 14 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 1: but something else. Discover this and more as we answer 15 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:15,320 Speaker 1: the age old question, is that a flesh balloon coming 16 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 1: out of your mouth? Or are you just happy to 17 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 1: see me? Joining me today is producer podcaster friend of 18 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 1: the show, Friend of Camel's Bridget Greenberg. Welcome, Hey, best 19 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:33,040 Speaker 1: friend of camels, big dumb faces, so excited you got 20 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 1: the dumbest faces. They do. They have the sweetest, dumbest faces. 21 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 1: I love I love them so just like you look 22 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 1: at them from any angle really, from that amazing pouty lips, 23 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:54,639 Speaker 1: those big bug eyes, it's such a and then those 24 00:01:54,880 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 1: luscious eyelashes. Oh yeah, they have beautiful eyelashes. And uh, 25 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: they are constantly chewing nothing. It seems like every time 26 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: I've seen one, it's like chewing the cut. Yes. Yeah, 27 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 1: they're just like chewing a circle motion stereo with their 28 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 1: weird eyes. I was traveling in Israel once and we're 29 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 1: on like a tour bus, and I fell asleep and 30 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 1: I woke up. I don't I don't know. You woke 31 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 1: up next to a camel. I've heard this story a 32 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 1: million times. Oh yeah, I made it happens. They're very seductive. 33 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,919 Speaker 1: Um the eyelashes. No, I like woke up on the 34 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,360 Speaker 1: store of Us and I like look out into the 35 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 1: distance and I swear to God, I saw a camel 36 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 1: with the fez on, just wandering the desert. Yeah. I 37 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:47,799 Speaker 1: don't know if it's true. It was like, I don't 38 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 1: know if it like escaped somewhere, but I was wearing 39 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 1: a fez and it was just a lone camel out 40 00:02:55,680 --> 00:03:01,639 Speaker 1: in the desert. Camels I enjoy fashion as well. I mean, yeah, 41 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 1: no one else said they saw it, but I I 42 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 1: swear he was wearing a little hat. I like that. 43 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 1: I like that there is a cryptid now that is 44 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 1: camel wearing a fez, and Bridget has seen it and 45 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: swears it shaky at the Middle East and confuses sleepy tourists. 46 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 1: That's incredible. They're everywhere out there, they are, and it's 47 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: really interesting because they are domesticated, and they have become 48 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: much more cosmopolitan, much more globally present than they were 49 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 1: typically when they were wild. Huh. Yeah, I guess that 50 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 1: makes sense because I mean I felt bad for the camels, 51 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 1: but traveling around I would just see them, like at 52 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 1: gas stations and be like, hey, pet my camel for 53 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 1: like five dollars. Oh gosh, five dollars a pet. Yeah, 54 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 1: one pet, five dollars. That's there. That's has to be 55 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 1: hard to keep a camel, I mean actually, I mean 56 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,040 Speaker 1: maybe if you're trying to keep it in your apartment. 57 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 1: But they were very well suited to domestication. They're more 58 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 1: strong willed than say a horse or a cow, but 59 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 1: they are they were I mean the fact that they 60 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 1: are so hardy and so well adapted to extremes made 61 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:44,839 Speaker 1: them invaluable in terms of being pack animals and animals 62 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 1: that we rode on and and domesticated animals in human history. Yeah, 63 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 1: I guess that they do seem very they're very gentle. Yeah, 64 00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:00,839 Speaker 1: they're gentle, but with but with a little bit of attitude, 65 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:04,600 Speaker 1: which I admire. Yeah, yeah, you know, they have some 66 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 1: edge to them. Yeah, and you can tell you stare 67 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:11,479 Speaker 1: at you with their expressionless dumb faces, just chewing in 68 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,600 Speaker 1: big old circles like I'm gonna go where I want 69 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:19,599 Speaker 1: to go, So just sort of a rundown. What is 70 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 1: a camel? A camel is an even toed ungulate like 71 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:31,920 Speaker 1: dear sheep, bison. They're actually distantly related to whales and dolphins, 72 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 1: which also descended from who land animals. But yeah, they're 73 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 1: basically they're even toed ungulates. So they're similar to antelope, deer, 74 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,919 Speaker 1: sheep pigs. Is that what the is? Are we going 75 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,599 Speaker 1: to find out? The hump is a fin essentially a fin, 76 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:57,720 Speaker 1: I like that sand whales they're called sand dolphins dolphins. 77 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 1: I love that for them. So camels have an interesting 78 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:10,840 Speaker 1: evolutionary history. The oldest known camel, Protolopus, lived around fifty 79 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: million years ago and was about as big as a 80 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 1: medium sized dog, So not very big, little tiny miniature camel. Cute, 81 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: let's bring that back. That feels more like the apartment camel. 82 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:30,599 Speaker 1: I know, lap camel. I would love a dream little 83 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 1: lap camel and pettit have a spit up spit at 84 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 1: courtesan's that I don't like. Yeah, the spit is grassed. 85 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 1: So we don't necessarily know if these early ancestors of 86 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 1: camels actually had a hump or not. We don't have 87 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 1: the soft tissue evidence. Um, but they were found in 88 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 1: North America. In fact, camels lived in North America until 89 00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 1: around fifteen thousand years ago, when they went ex inked 90 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 1: along with other mega fauna, probably because humans came along 91 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:08,359 Speaker 1: and just ruined everything, as as we tend to like 92 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 1: to do this mega fun. Well no, so, so these 93 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: early ancestors of camels went extinct, But the other other 94 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 1: species of camels evolved and moved across the globe and 95 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 1: became their own thing. So that's why we got big camels. 96 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 1: I mean, the some of the camels that lived in 97 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 1: North America were quite big, actually a little taller than 98 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 1: modern day camels. May or may not have had a hump, 99 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 1: but they did. They went extinct, while the other camels 100 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 1: that migrated over to northern Africa and Asia actually ended 101 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 1: up surviving until modern times after going through a little 102 00:07:55,440 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 1: bit of human mettaalings. So interestingly, camels, uh, we're not 103 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 1: always adapted solely for hot climates, nor are they solely 104 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 1: found in hot climates even in even today. Um, which 105 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 1: we'll talk a little bit about later, But first thing 106 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 1: to know is that there are three species of camel 107 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 1: still alive today, which I think a lot of people 108 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 1: just think there's like it's camel. Every camel is just camel. 109 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 1: There are three types of camel. Yeah, it's funny because, yeah, 110 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 1: you said three types of species, and I did think 111 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,439 Speaker 1: camels just camel, and then I also at the same 112 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 1: time thought that seems low. But so there is the 113 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:42,560 Speaker 1: dromedary camel, which is probably the camel you're thinking of 114 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 1: right now. Yeah, that that looks like camel, camel, camel camel, 115 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 1: sort of your camel classic, which is actually a little 116 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 1: deceptive because there is the bactery and camel, which is 117 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 1: probably actually an older species of camel and the wild 118 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 1: bactory and camel. So we are going to talk about 119 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 1: the Bactrian and the wild Bactrian, who are fascinating camels. 120 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 1: But first we're going to talk about the good old 121 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,880 Speaker 1: Dromedary camel, the one we know and love, which is 122 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 1: also incredibly, incredibly interesting. So the Dromedary is the most 123 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 1: common camel. Um. It is your stereotypical, prototypical, archetypical, all 124 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:34,319 Speaker 1: the typicals camel. They're the ones that wear the feaces exactly, 125 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 1: very handsome. And it is a domesticated animal. It is 126 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 1: not a wild animal. They are all domesticated and it 127 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:53,599 Speaker 1: has not been wild for at least two thousand years. 128 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:57,440 Speaker 1: So yeah, it's you know, essentially like a horse or 129 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 1: a cow, it is domesticated. I remember seeing, like I've 130 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 1: seen wild horses, and I like my mind was kind 131 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 1: of blown, like they just exist. But that's up. I 132 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:11,680 Speaker 1: thought camels were just you know, thrown it in the woods, 133 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 1: making more camels the desert. Well they can be. So 134 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:19,440 Speaker 1: there are feral camels. In fact, a lot of feral camels. 135 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 1: That fact we'll talk about. Actually I don't like that. 136 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 1: I don't like that actually that's very scary. We will 137 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 1: talk about some of these feral camels. Uh, and while 138 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:32,320 Speaker 1: they're maybe not scary to humans, there are some problems 139 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 1: with feral camels. So there there are big populations of 140 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,560 Speaker 1: feral camels, but they are technically feral versions of the 141 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 1: domesticated camel. So just kind of a short description of 142 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 1: the germanary camel. They have one hump, always one hump. 143 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 1: They have short but shaggy fur, a long curved neck, 144 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 1: and absolutely gorgeous maybe the line maybe it's maybe line. 145 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,960 Speaker 1: Maybe she's born with it. Eyelashes and they are born 146 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 1: with it. They are born with it, I mean, just 147 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 1: such thick. They're stunning. Yeah, they could fan your face 148 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:15,560 Speaker 1: with their eyelashes. It's stunning. It's a look and I'm jealous, frankly. Yeah, 149 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:21,959 Speaker 1: uh yeah, they're they're dumb seductive faces. Can't get around it. 150 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,679 Speaker 1: Those camels are hot. They have they do have vogue faces. 151 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,880 Speaker 1: They know how to have that sort of unfocused, glazed 152 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 1: look in their eye. They flutter their eyelashes and pout 153 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 1: with their lips there. Yeah, they're they're very very vogue. Yeah, 154 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,320 Speaker 1: they they look like they want you to pet them, 155 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 1: but they do not. They will spit at you. Yeah. Yeah, 156 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:49,200 Speaker 1: Actually that spit is not spit but a mixture of 157 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 1: saliva and regurgitate. Regurgitate, regurgitate. Regurg makes sense, it does, Yeah, 158 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,960 Speaker 1: because that's not I've seen the spit and it's not 159 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 1: it looks it looks like they have a virus. Salt 160 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:07,560 Speaker 1: of time or yeah, yeah, it's it's it's it's pretty grossed. 161 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:09,959 Speaker 1: It's throw up. It's a little bit of throw up. 162 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 1: They regurgitate and we'll shoot it at you. And this 163 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:18,440 Speaker 1: is a defensive tactic that they use. It used to 164 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 1: be against predators, but they will also do it if 165 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 1: they're just piste off at you a human. They are 166 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:30,560 Speaker 1: very sassy creatures too. They always they do seem a 167 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 1: bit pissed a lot. Yeah, it you know, it adds up. 168 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,679 Speaker 1: I I do like that as that feels like the 169 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 1: kind of defensive tactic that someone like me would have, 170 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:47,560 Speaker 1: is that I just throw up at you. I like 171 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:51,080 Speaker 1: that as a superpower as someone with stomach issues. Uh, 172 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 1: enjoy that as a superpower of just at you. I 173 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 1: did when I was in elementary school, um like, get 174 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 1: sick during a choir practice, and I did on accident 175 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 1: throw up on the front row, including a girl I 176 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:15,319 Speaker 1: didn't really like. So perfect. It was nontentional, right, exactly, 177 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 1: it was. It was actually why we're while we were 178 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 1: seeing uh do ah dear do remy fossil and then 179 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:28,320 Speaker 1: at the like do remy fossil, Latti barf everywhere on 180 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 1: the front row, but especially I really didn't like. So good, 181 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:43,079 Speaker 1: good job, thank you, uh my man, such a memorable birthday, 182 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:47,440 Speaker 1: A lot of cake. So I I really do feel 183 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 1: for the camels because I it's like I really embodied 184 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 1: the camel this day, the camel spirit. Yeah, the power 185 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 1: of the camel. Today on my birthday, I shall exhibit 186 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 1: the power of the camel. Yeah, so so uh wild 187 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 1: camel fur is typically that a lovely tan color. It 188 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:16,560 Speaker 1: can range from black to white and in very rare 189 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 1: cases actually piebald, meaning a splotchy mix of black and 190 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:30,480 Speaker 1: white fur. So yeah, designer camels, So is that. I 191 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 1: don't think it's a thing. Okay, Yeah, I mean I assume, yeah, 192 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:40,400 Speaker 1: I assume if you're breeding camels, you know, the designer camel. 193 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 1: I got some coats. No, I'm just want the animal 194 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 1: designer camel. No, I'm still getting coats. So I'm going 195 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 1: to assume maybe there are designer camels, but uh, maybe 196 00:14:56,040 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 1: they're also just wearing designer coats. I like that better. Yeah, 197 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 1: it's a it's a coat for a camel to not 198 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 1: out of a camel, don't worry. So uh, I mean 199 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 1: it could be a coat mad out of the camel's wool, 200 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 1: not the like, you don't necessarily have to kill the 201 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 1: camel to get camel wool, which is you know, nice, 202 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:25,000 Speaker 1: I guess, which is good. So the wild ancestors of 203 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 1: dromedaries adapted to intense desert regions, which is actually probably 204 00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 1: why they were domesticated, because they are so gosh darn hardy. Uh. 205 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 1: These original dromedary camels would live in the Sahara and 206 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 1: was able to withstand intense conditions in the desert um. 207 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 1: So this was a huge boon for people who lived 208 00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:54,080 Speaker 1: in the desert regions because they could be used as 209 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 1: pack animals transportation. They could even be used for their milk, 210 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 1: their wool, and also their meat. So they've also been 211 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:07,240 Speaker 1: used for plowing fields. I mean, like they were really 212 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 1: really useful for people who lived in these desert regions. Yeah, 213 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 1: that makes sense. They're kind of like they feel like 214 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 1: the cows of that area, Like if you let them 215 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 1: loose on the field, they're going to just eat the 216 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 1: day away. I mean, they're kind of they're like really 217 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:30,400 Speaker 1: metal versions of cows, uh and like and just kind 218 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 1: of I don't know, it's they're they're like a utility 219 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 1: ungulate because there's so many different things that they can do, 220 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 1: you know, hanging things off those hubs. Yeah, I mean 221 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 1: I would in an apocalyptic environment, I would rather have 222 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 1: a camel than a horse, absolutely. Yeah. Yeah. They definitely 223 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:56,000 Speaker 1: seem more party and less high maintenance. Yeah then those 224 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,400 Speaker 1: damn horses. But it is have you have you ever 225 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 1: ridden a caw? I have not. I imagine it's extremely comfortable. 226 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:07,439 Speaker 1: Um yeah, I I did one of those. It is 227 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:15,760 Speaker 1: um crazy getting up. It's what I imagined like a 228 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 1: hydraulic car to be like, because the camel actually doesn't. 229 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 1: The camel lie down and then you get on it 230 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:27,680 Speaker 1: and then yeah yeah, and they stand up like one 231 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:31,480 Speaker 1: leg at a time, so it's just in the very 232 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 1: long legs on that camel you got. Yeah, so it's 233 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:40,240 Speaker 1: just like one at a time, kind of like shifting 234 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:45,960 Speaker 1: you a good like seven eight ft in the air, Yeah, 235 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 1: making like root root noises. Yeah, horses a little not 236 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 1: that a horse ride is comfortable, but I would recommend 237 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 1: it more. They also, you know, the back spaces, it's 238 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:06,359 Speaker 1: mostly humped back there, so you have not a don't 239 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 1: really have a lot of rooms, right right, not much 240 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:15,480 Speaker 1: lumbar support. No camel How dare they not be designed 241 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:21,840 Speaker 1: with the lumbar support, these animals, these living creatures. Yeah, 242 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,600 Speaker 1: they It turns out they weren't made just for me 243 00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:29,120 Speaker 1: to ride them. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. If they were, 244 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,719 Speaker 1: they definitely come with sort of like cup holders and 245 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:35,240 Speaker 1: seat belts. Yeah, I know. They should be a little 246 00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 1: more organomical and they're probably a little less stubborn. The 247 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 1: camel I was on did not want to go in 248 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,920 Speaker 1: the direction of all the other camels. Yeah, they've got 249 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:47,000 Speaker 1: they've got none of them did, Yeah, none of none 250 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 1: of the camels. It wasn't like particular to me, like 251 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 1: we were Yeah, none of the camels seemed interested in 252 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:56,320 Speaker 1: going the direction that the ride was the camel ride 253 00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,959 Speaker 1: was designed for. Like, they got their own stuff going on. 254 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 1: Maybe they know they're gonna DJ that night, you don't know, Yeah, 255 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 1: I got they got stuff going on. Yeah, their social 256 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:15,520 Speaker 1: calendar is full, thank you. Yeah, they didn't get put 257 00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:23,439 Speaker 1: on all that mascara for nothing. So the drumedary camel 258 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:27,400 Speaker 1: still lives in hotter arid regions like the Sahara Desert, 259 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:32,679 Speaker 1: but domestication has distributed them all across Africa, Asia, the 260 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:37,239 Speaker 1: Persian Gulf, and they were even brought to Australia in 261 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:41,640 Speaker 1: the mid eighteen hundreds, which, like many animals that were 262 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:46,400 Speaker 1: imported to Australia, was a terrible decision because now there 263 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 1: are over a million feral camels wandering and ransacking the 264 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:58,680 Speaker 1: Australian bush. No that is yeah, yeah, don't bring animals 265 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:04,719 Speaker 1: to places where animals don't go, specially Australia. Yeah, I 266 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 1: mean they they're full of non native species. They they're 267 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:14,680 Speaker 1: closed off that. Yeah. I don't. I don't like animal 268 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,240 Speaker 1: as big as a camel. The idea of that being 269 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:23,000 Speaker 1: feral I can handle, but like that's too big to 270 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 1: f that's scary. Come on, mittens, and it's just like 271 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:31,240 Speaker 1: a herd of angry camera of camels. I don't like that. 272 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 1: But they're I don't like they're gentle and they have 273 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:42,880 Speaker 1: a big, dumb, flat teeth, but they're very big there's 274 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:44,879 Speaker 1: a that's a lot of sass to have in a 275 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:49,120 Speaker 1: feral population of camel. It's funny because I cannot see 276 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:53,840 Speaker 1: them being like a camel. Camel aggression to me is 277 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 1: very just sass. Yeah, I mean they do like do 278 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,439 Speaker 1: you spit as we've talked about, or you know, the 279 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 1: regurgitating weaponized regurgitating. Um, they also do. They will bite, 280 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 1: I mean if they feel like they have to. Yeah, 281 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 1: it feels like all their defenses are kind of like 282 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,200 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure the bite is hard, but it's 283 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 1: not gonna like tear you apart like a camel's not 284 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,520 Speaker 1: gonna eat you. Yeah, that's what they want you, that's though, 285 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:25,200 Speaker 1: that's what they want you to think. Yeah, they're there. 286 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 1: Their teeth are weird, although they might eat you if 287 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 1: you are already dead, uh, which I'll talk about we'll 288 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:38,080 Speaker 1: talk about a little bit more later. Um. But yeah, 289 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 1: these feral camels are actually a significant problem because they 290 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:48,440 Speaker 1: are devastating to the native plant populations and they cause 291 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:52,560 Speaker 1: erosion with all their stomping with those big, flat, floppy 292 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,600 Speaker 1: feet of theirs. Um. But yeah, I mean it's a 293 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 1: real testament to the camel's hearty adaptations. That they have 294 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 1: become such a ust in Australia because they can just 295 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,880 Speaker 1: kind of dominate because they're so they have so many 296 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:09,119 Speaker 1: incredible adaptations to be able to survive in extreme conditions 297 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 1: that when you plot them in Australia, they're like, we can, 298 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 1: we can. Yeah, we'll take it. We can do it. 299 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:20,119 Speaker 1: Yeah looks nice. Yeah because fire tornadoes, we got it. 300 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 1: We don't care. Uh yeah, because I have to imagine 301 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 1: they just eat constantly too, like if they're not just 302 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:35,479 Speaker 1: well it's yeah, it's interesting because they will eat when 303 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:39,880 Speaker 1: they have the opportunity to, but they do. They are 304 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:47,240 Speaker 1: able to withstand incredibly inhospitable conditions and they can last 305 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:51,119 Speaker 1: for quite a while without eating, without drinking, and it 306 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:56,160 Speaker 1: is stunning what they are able to endure. Um, but 307 00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 1: we are going to take a quick break and when 308 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:02,719 Speaker 1: we get back, we are going to talk about how 309 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 1: the camel is one of the most extreme, most hardy 310 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:15,480 Speaker 1: large mammals in the world. Bridget, You're ready to talk 311 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:20,840 Speaker 1: about how much camel's rule. Hell, yeah, that's why I'm here. 312 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,200 Speaker 1: They're I mean, like I often like to talk about 313 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,400 Speaker 1: lesser known animals on the show, sort of the the 314 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,359 Speaker 1: animals you don't, you know, aren't aren't one of the 315 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,119 Speaker 1: big animals that we kind of talk about all the time. 316 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:39,320 Speaker 1: But camels are really interesting because they are Everyone knows 317 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:43,199 Speaker 1: that they're really hardy. They can survive without water. But 318 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of misconceptions about how they 319 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:52,040 Speaker 1: do this, and it's actually incredibly impressive what they are 320 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 1: capable of. Yeah, I mean, I I know this is wrong. 321 00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:02,920 Speaker 1: I I've always as it was hump based, Uh why 322 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:06,280 Speaker 1: they are able to survive. I'm sure the hump has 323 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 1: something to do with it. But yes, they're they're hardcore. 324 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:13,439 Speaker 1: If they can live out, you know, in those deserts, Yes, 325 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:20,200 Speaker 1: and just not drink for days exactly. More. Yeah, they're 326 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,159 Speaker 1: a little more metal than they look. They're very metal, 327 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:28,320 Speaker 1: much more metal than that long luxurious lashes. And actually 328 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:34,199 Speaker 1: those eyelashes also being just iconic, do serve a very 329 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 1: important purpose in terms of keeping their eyes protected from 330 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,760 Speaker 1: sand because they live in these places where there can 331 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 1: be sandstorms, and these really thick, long lashes act, as 332 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:53,840 Speaker 1: you know, essentially like a a fence, fencing or or 333 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:57,280 Speaker 1: a net that that protects their eyes. They also have 334 00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 1: a nictitating membrane, which is you know, like, when have 335 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 1: you ever seen a sleepy cat where they kind of 336 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:10,679 Speaker 1: like open their Yeah, it's that third eyelash that goes sideways. Yes, exactly, 337 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:15,040 Speaker 1: that that third eyelid, the nictitating membrane. Birds also have 338 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:19,359 Speaker 1: it um and it's like, so that's when cats and 339 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 1: they're kind of like half awake, they look at you 340 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:25,359 Speaker 1: and they have this weird, like very silly expression because 341 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:29,560 Speaker 1: that third eyelid is sort of halfway across their eye. Well, 342 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,239 Speaker 1: camels also have this, and they can also use that 343 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:37,119 Speaker 1: to protect their eyes from sand um. But yeah, so 344 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:42,920 Speaker 1: they are just incredibly well adapted to dry, desert arid 345 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:47,879 Speaker 1: environments and can survive extreme water loss. Now, Bridget you 346 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,639 Speaker 1: mentioned like you were thinking, like this hump has a 347 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,359 Speaker 1: lot to do with their survival, and that is true, 348 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:58,199 Speaker 1: But have you had the notion that it has something 349 00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 1: to do with, uh helping them with hydrating, like like 350 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:08,000 Speaker 1: storing water, preventing water loss or something like that. Yeah, 351 00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 1: that is what I had always heard that camel back backpack. 352 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:17,919 Speaker 1: This is kind of what I assume the uh the 353 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:22,120 Speaker 1: hump was was essentially just like a big water bladder. 354 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:26,480 Speaker 1: But I also know that's wrong because it's not like 355 00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:30,560 Speaker 1: if you poke that thing. It's not like that. It's 356 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:36,119 Speaker 1: not a bladder of right, it doesn't slash around. Yeah, 357 00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:39,360 Speaker 1: so you know that's what I've heard, but I've assumed 358 00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,399 Speaker 1: that was wrong. Yeah, I mean, so it does serve 359 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,920 Speaker 1: a very important purpose, but that is not to keep 360 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:51,360 Speaker 1: the camel hydrated. It is actually other factors, other evolutionary 361 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:54,480 Speaker 1: advantages that the camel has that helps it survive without water. 362 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:58,760 Speaker 1: So in temperatures of up to a hundred and four 363 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:02,600 Speaker 1: degrees fahrenheit, they only need to drink water every ten 364 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:07,239 Speaker 1: to fifteen days, which is, for the record, a lot 365 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:10,360 Speaker 1: longer than humans can. You'd be very dead. I'd be dead. 366 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:12,560 Speaker 1: We'd be a pile of bones. I mean not bones, 367 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:18,800 Speaker 1: but yeah, but but dead, but certainly dead, certainly dead. 368 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 1: That sounds like a long time. Yes. When it does drink, 369 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:28,919 Speaker 1: it drinks very heartily. It can drink over four gallons 370 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:34,000 Speaker 1: or liters a minute, and can drink around thirty gallons 371 00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:39,040 Speaker 1: or a hundred and fifteen liters in one sitting. I 372 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:46,040 Speaker 1: that in the the minute, that how much you can 373 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:49,119 Speaker 1: drink in a minute is shocking to because I I 374 00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:52,679 Speaker 1: feel like you need a hose to do that, Like, 375 00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:58,280 Speaker 1: I feel like them just laughing up water. It's gotta 376 00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:02,800 Speaker 1: be that. That seems they do that at a quick rate. Yes, 377 00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:09,879 Speaker 1: very powerful mouths, just hoovering up water. Yeah, it feels 378 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,560 Speaker 1: like it would need a tusk to drink that much water. 379 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:17,280 Speaker 1: But good for them. Uh. Yeah, So the water is 380 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:22,960 Speaker 1: not stored in the hump. Uh. The hump is actually 381 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:28,479 Speaker 1: a fibrous mass of fatty tissue that is stored and 382 00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:34,480 Speaker 1: can be metabolized as food. Uh, for the nutrition for 383 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,560 Speaker 1: the camel if it is unable to find food. So 384 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:42,640 Speaker 1: it's not really for water, it is for nutrition. That 385 00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:47,040 Speaker 1: is handy. Yes, it's like a backpack full of snacks, 386 00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:52,720 Speaker 1: except it's kind of it's just it's just anya. Yeah. 387 00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:55,520 Speaker 1: And this hump can store up to eighty pounds or 388 00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:59,360 Speaker 1: thirty six of fats. So that is significant. That is 389 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:05,280 Speaker 1: a significant canently uh adequate source of nutrition if they 390 00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 1: are encountering scarcity. Does that mean does it like shrink? 391 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:19,080 Speaker 1: Yeah as they consume it, Yeah, it's kind of deflates. Uh. 392 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:22,720 Speaker 1: And it's kind of like a sad balloon. Um. But 393 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:30,120 Speaker 1: with a full plump, they can go several months without food. Wow. 394 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:37,720 Speaker 1: Yeah for them in terms of the water, how they survive, 395 00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:41,920 Speaker 1: on how they are able to drink a huge amount 396 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,400 Speaker 1: of water and then go so long without having to 397 00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:49,200 Speaker 1: drink more water. It is actually inside of them, uh 398 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:54,160 Speaker 1: that is mostly responsible for their water preservation in terms 399 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:59,320 Speaker 1: of their organs like their kidneys, uh, and also as 400 00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:02,920 Speaker 1: small as their blood cells. Their blood cells are actually 401 00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:06,440 Speaker 1: oval shaped rather than round like our blood cell. Red 402 00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:09,600 Speaker 1: bullet blood cells are kind of like these little like uh, 403 00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:15,840 Speaker 1: doughnuts without a hole in them, But camel red blood 404 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:19,680 Speaker 1: cells are oval shaped, and what that allows is for 405 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:24,680 Speaker 1: the blood flow to continue even when they're severely dehydrated. 406 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:28,240 Speaker 1: So they're kind of more streamlined, these blood cells, so 407 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,480 Speaker 1: they can continue to flow through the veins even in 408 00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:39,400 Speaker 1: cases of severe dehydration. That is very thorough evolution. Yes, Uh, 409 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:44,400 Speaker 1: that is incredible. That Yeah, down to the blood cell, 410 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:48,160 Speaker 1: it has figured out how to live in the desert. Yeah, 411 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,959 Speaker 1: it's amazing. I mean, if you want an example of 412 00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:55,560 Speaker 1: how blood cell shape can kind of change based on 413 00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:58,760 Speaker 1: a mutation but then end up being advantageous, you only 414 00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:02,400 Speaker 1: need to look at humans, where people can get sickle 415 00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:09,200 Speaker 1: cell anemia, which is generally speaking not necessarily advantageous, but 416 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:13,120 Speaker 1: it does make it harder to contract malaria, and so 417 00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:18,000 Speaker 1: with sickle cell anemia actually provides an advantage to people 418 00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:22,040 Speaker 1: who are in areas where there is high malaria risks. 419 00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:25,320 Speaker 1: So you can see how you might have some kind 420 00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:30,280 Speaker 1: of mutation with blood cell shape that um may not 421 00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:34,080 Speaker 1: seem ideal, but then in certain situations, in certain environments, 422 00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:39,360 Speaker 1: it actually is a really good mutation. A man evolution 423 00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:46,240 Speaker 1: is cool, Ain't it wacky? It's it's it's wild that. Yeah, 424 00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:49,000 Speaker 1: your your body just figures out how to best survive 425 00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:52,880 Speaker 1: and then forms everybody that way. Yeah, I mean it's 426 00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:55,600 Speaker 1: just like it's but it's just luck, right, like if 427 00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:57,840 Speaker 1: you're if you're the person, you're just kind of born 428 00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,440 Speaker 1: with the mutation, and it's like, oh, actually this is 429 00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:03,920 Speaker 1: pretty good. It's just end up surviving and end up 430 00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:08,760 Speaker 1: having babies and passing that onto them. Yeah, good for 431 00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:13,280 Speaker 1: these camels and their long blood cells. So yeah. Camels 432 00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:19,040 Speaker 1: can also voluntarily close their nostrils um, which will prevent 433 00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:22,120 Speaker 1: sand from entering their nostrils and can also help them 434 00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:26,080 Speaker 1: prevent more water loss, like by exhaling out of their 435 00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:33,800 Speaker 1: nostrils in like these very dry, windy conditions. How do 436 00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:38,800 Speaker 1: they breathe. Well, it's voluntary, so they open up. They're 437 00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:41,880 Speaker 1: not holding their breath to breathe. Yeah, I mean it's 438 00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:46,000 Speaker 1: like it's sort of like uh blinking in a way, 439 00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:49,280 Speaker 1: although like voluntary blinking, like if you if it's really 440 00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:51,720 Speaker 1: windy or something, you might kind of blink more to 441 00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:55,080 Speaker 1: keep your eyes were moisturized. It's the same thing with this, 442 00:32:55,320 --> 00:33:00,600 Speaker 1: uh nostrils. It's no, it's nose blinking kind of that. 443 00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:04,360 Speaker 1: I have seen that happen. It is. It's weird. Yeah, 444 00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:06,000 Speaker 1: I kind of always thought of it as blinking that 445 00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:11,600 Speaker 1: it is like kind of involuntary. But that's cool. They're 446 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:20,480 Speaker 1: big dump nostrils. So other adaptations is Another adaptation is 447 00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:24,160 Speaker 1: that they have thick leathery skin on their feet, knees, 448 00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:27,600 Speaker 1: and chest areas so they can protect themselves from the 449 00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:31,600 Speaker 1: hot sand while walking, kneeling and lying down because they 450 00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:34,920 Speaker 1: do often kind of lie down with their legs tucked 451 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:40,560 Speaker 1: under them. It's very cute. Yeah, yeah, they're they're they're 452 00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:43,200 Speaker 1: they're like, like I I think of them as a 453 00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:45,479 Speaker 1: very kind of lazy animal because they always see them 454 00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:51,240 Speaker 1: lying down in it. They're efficient. It's not it's efficiency, 455 00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:55,640 Speaker 1: it's efficiency energy efficiency. And they Yeah, that's what I 456 00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:59,640 Speaker 1: call my naps energy efficient, energy efficiency. Yeah. They also 457 00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:05,320 Speaker 1: just have the sleepiest faces. They really do, they really do. 458 00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:09,160 Speaker 1: And then just like that slow chewing. It's it's adorable. 459 00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:13,240 Speaker 1: They always look like the chilling Yeah, and that chewing. 460 00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:17,120 Speaker 1: Actually they are chewing their cuts so they regurgitate this 461 00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:21,399 Speaker 1: quasi digested vegetation back up to chew it some more 462 00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:24,880 Speaker 1: and swallow it again. It's something a lot of ungulates 463 00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:28,840 Speaker 1: will do, a lot of ruminants will do. It's pretty gross. 464 00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:31,879 Speaker 1: It's pretty gross. In addition to that, though, they also 465 00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:36,960 Speaker 1: have really thick lips that they can grasp and choot, 466 00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:40,839 Speaker 1: like pull out and chew vegetation. And since the vegetation 467 00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:43,600 Speaker 1: they have to contend with is often thorny and prickly, 468 00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:47,200 Speaker 1: they have really thick lips and inside of their mouths 469 00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:51,120 Speaker 1: so they can chew on it without getting hurt getting scratched. 470 00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:57,279 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's why they have the big faces, those 471 00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:01,439 Speaker 1: potty lips, and those luscious eyela bushes actually served quite 472 00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:05,759 Speaker 1: a good evolutionary purpose. Yeah, I just like, like, what 473 00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:09,239 Speaker 1: are you chewing on my own bombit? I want some 474 00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:14,200 Speaker 1: spits at you. Yeah, just keeping it in my mouth 475 00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:19,680 Speaker 1: in case, just in case we do have to talk 476 00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:24,839 Speaker 1: about their love lives. It's fascinating, course, it's it's I mean, 477 00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,480 Speaker 1: I've been I've been staring at this picture that you 478 00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:33,440 Speaker 1: have of a camel making love to another camel for 479 00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:39,480 Speaker 1: an inappropriate amount of time. It is something that, I mean, like, 480 00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:44,279 Speaker 1: without sounding weird, it's like kind of fascinating because it 481 00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:49,520 Speaker 1: was not how I pictured them mating. Honestly. Yeah, they yeah, 482 00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:55,040 Speaker 1: they're they're very large and unruly animals. I would say 483 00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:58,719 Speaker 1: their body seems unruly. Uh yeah, just a lot of 484 00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:03,120 Speaker 1: long legs in a week, hump in along neck. Yeah, 485 00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:07,040 Speaker 1: So the physics seem off, it does it does? It's 486 00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:09,880 Speaker 1: they're ungainly and then you see how they mate, and 487 00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:12,480 Speaker 1: it's like, I guess, I guess that is kind of 488 00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:15,239 Speaker 1: the only way to do it. So what it is 489 00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:20,360 Speaker 1: is the female is lying down with her legs tucked 490 00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:24,400 Speaker 1: under her, sort of just classic bread loaf camel pose, 491 00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:30,439 Speaker 1: and uh, the male is very awkwardly stretched over her 492 00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:34,399 Speaker 1: with his neck kind of like sticking out, his legs 493 00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:38,960 Speaker 1: straddling her, his front legs straddling her, and then you know, 494 00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:47,240 Speaker 1: just kind of kneeling behind her. And just what's funny 495 00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:50,799 Speaker 1: to me is it looks like so much effort for 496 00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:53,319 Speaker 1: the male and then the female is just like just 497 00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:58,160 Speaker 1: lying down. Yeah, whatever, do what you gotta do. Yeah 498 00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:05,080 Speaker 1: it ah, yeah, that male seems stressed, yeah to see 499 00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:07,759 Speaker 1: the least. And she was just like, yeah, good for her. 500 00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:13,320 Speaker 1: But also I like the body shape that this camel 501 00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:17,279 Speaker 1: that the male has contorted itself too, which is just 502 00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:23,600 Speaker 1: like a ball with a Do you remember those skipid 503 00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:28,320 Speaker 1: things that you would tie around your ankle, yes, all, yeah, 504 00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:30,560 Speaker 1: it's sort of like that shape, but if the ball 505 00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:36,000 Speaker 1: was like a cannon ball. Yeah, yeah, it's it really. 506 00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:38,720 Speaker 1: It's like, I guess we're just so used to seeing 507 00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:42,960 Speaker 1: the camel and its normal position with its like next 508 00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:46,080 Speaker 1: sort of in a sloping you shape, just kind of 509 00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:49,359 Speaker 1: walking around, but when it like stretches its neck out 510 00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:52,759 Speaker 1: and its legs out and it's like a little pot 511 00:37:52,840 --> 00:38:00,120 Speaker 1: belly is shoved unceremoniously on its knees. Yeah, it's yeah, 512 00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:02,880 Speaker 1: I figure it's e t it's it's it looks like 513 00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:07,040 Speaker 1: et uh. It has that long neck and then that 514 00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:12,560 Speaker 1: weird circle body. Yes, it's it's like little squat legs. 515 00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:19,240 Speaker 1: I don't it's not dignified. It's not very dignify. No, uh, 516 00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:21,720 Speaker 1: it's you know, they have to do this in public. 517 00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:26,960 Speaker 1: But speaking of undignified, males have a lot of romantic 518 00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:30,520 Speaker 1: gestures that they will offer for females to try to 519 00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:34,200 Speaker 1: attract them, one of which is splashing their own urine 520 00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:40,560 Speaker 1: around their genitals. Well, of course, of course, I mean, 521 00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:48,920 Speaker 1: I mean how that it's camel cologne. Yeah, and you 522 00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:51,200 Speaker 1: want that area to spell good. I can't feel like, 523 00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:56,120 Speaker 1: I know they don't. I know, the female just kind 524 00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:58,600 Speaker 1: of like picks it up. But what you don't have 525 00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:02,279 Speaker 1: to do it on the genitals. I'm stiffing down there, 526 00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:04,840 Speaker 1: But like, where else are you going to go? You 527 00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:09,320 Speaker 1: can't really aim it um and might as well. I 528 00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:12,040 Speaker 1: would rather use splash your urine you know where the 529 00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:16,879 Speaker 1: urine comes from on its neck or something altho. Yeah, 530 00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:19,920 Speaker 1: like not sort of like the perfume thing where you 531 00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:22,359 Speaker 1: roll a little bit on your wrists and on your neck. 532 00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:28,400 Speaker 1: It's because I like with animals, you know, with wild animals, 533 00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:33,279 Speaker 1: you know, I just assume they're covered in urine. I 534 00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:35,640 Speaker 1: don't think they need to do the extra work. Yeah, 535 00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:40,880 Speaker 1: I'm sure that splashback happens. I mean, it's it's basically 536 00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:44,440 Speaker 1: water park rules, right, like is going to be pe 537 00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:47,560 Speaker 1: You just have to accept it. You just gotta Yeah, 538 00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:52,080 Speaker 1: they're covered and we didn't need to do extra work 539 00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:55,960 Speaker 1: for it, but you know, if it works, who am 540 00:39:55,960 --> 00:40:01,440 Speaker 1: I to judge? And speaking of extra work, the mails 541 00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:06,399 Speaker 1: do have another romantic gesture to offer the females, and 542 00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:12,560 Speaker 1: it is inflating a sack of flesh inside their mouth, 543 00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:16,040 Speaker 1: letting it flop out the side of their mouth like 544 00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:22,240 Speaker 1: this big wet, pink balloon, and then sort of pushing 545 00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:26,400 Speaker 1: air through it such that it makes this like rumbling, gurgling, 546 00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:33,120 Speaker 1: bubbling sound. And yeah, it's very hot. It is called 547 00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:37,880 Speaker 1: the dola. Uh and this is what it sounds like. 548 00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:47,959 Speaker 1: Oh that is not what I was expecting. That sounds 549 00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:54,840 Speaker 1: like a water cooler. Yeah that. I'm also I'm looking 550 00:40:54,880 --> 00:41:02,520 Speaker 1: at this thing that's not their tongue. No, that is um, 551 00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:07,560 Speaker 1: you know, I don't want to judge, but gross, it 552 00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:11,879 Speaker 1: sounds a little bit judge actually though. Yeah it's oh 553 00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:15,759 Speaker 1: man that it looks like a turd coming out of 554 00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:19,480 Speaker 1: its mouth. You're dull ashaming these camels. I I yeah, 555 00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:25,439 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, if it if it helps them attractmates. Good, 556 00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:30,000 Speaker 1: good for them. I just if I saw that, I 557 00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:36,360 Speaker 1: would not go near that camera on you. No, No, 558 00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:40,920 Speaker 1: that doesn't work for me a human. But ah, what 559 00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:46,799 Speaker 1: I know about camel love. I don't like that thing. 560 00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:50,319 Speaker 1: It's just like another what what happened? Like so just 561 00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:52,879 Speaker 1: they can just inflate it. That's just when then suck 562 00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:56,080 Speaker 1: it back in. It's actually it's like tissue that's sort 563 00:41:56,120 --> 00:42:01,160 Speaker 1: of I believe is mean out of the same tissue 564 00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:05,399 Speaker 1: found in like our soft palate. But it's just kind 565 00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:09,799 Speaker 1: of like a bunch of flappy tissue that's inflatable that 566 00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:12,960 Speaker 1: they can stick out the side of their mouth. Yeah. Cool. 567 00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:17,200 Speaker 1: I guess if it works for you, it works for you. 568 00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:19,919 Speaker 1: For me, it it freaks me out a little bit, 569 00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:25,320 Speaker 1: But I think it's personally for me. I like the thought. 570 00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:30,919 Speaker 1: I think it's a nice thought. It's considerate. It's yeah, yeah, 571 00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:34,440 Speaker 1: check out this flappy gum. It's it's like when you're 572 00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:36,799 Speaker 1: like double jointed or something and you're like, check this out. 573 00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:44,239 Speaker 1: I guess it's a There was a guy who in 574 00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:47,200 Speaker 1: my high school would flirt with girls by showing how 575 00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:51,400 Speaker 1: he can like control his salivary glands under his tongue 576 00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:55,080 Speaker 1: and like squirt the saliva out, shoot it out, which 577 00:42:56,120 --> 00:43:05,359 Speaker 1: you know, not you know, not unsimilar to a camel um, 578 00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:10,080 Speaker 1: but uh yeah, not the best move human. But you know, 579 00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:13,040 Speaker 1: I don't remember if he ever got got someone to 580 00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:15,560 Speaker 1: go to the problem with him using that technique, but 581 00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:23,759 Speaker 1: you know, using that spitting yeah, uh yeah, that thing 582 00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:27,320 Speaker 1: is Yeah, it looks like a big grist balloon tongue 583 00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:30,480 Speaker 1: hanging out of its mouth. Don't forget wet also wet, 584 00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:33,640 Speaker 1: big gross balloon. Yeah, it seems very vulnerable to just 585 00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:36,080 Speaker 1: like hang that out of your mouth, right, That's what 586 00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:39,280 Speaker 1: I'm saying that it's like showing vulnerability. Is there anything 587 00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:43,839 Speaker 1: sexier than showing vulnerability? That's that's true because it feels like, 588 00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:48,239 Speaker 1: you know, you don't want to get sand in that 589 00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:51,440 Speaker 1: you have to put it back in your mouth, and 590 00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:54,760 Speaker 1: that can be said for a lot of things. That's 591 00:43:55,880 --> 00:44:00,840 Speaker 1: that's true. But you know, uh it just yeah, it 592 00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:04,680 Speaker 1: does seem very just like, here's this soft, weird, fleshy 593 00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:08,239 Speaker 1: thing that lives in my mouth and it's for you. Now. 594 00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:13,000 Speaker 1: Is that so different from human kissing? I guess not. 595 00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:21,520 Speaker 1: I guess not. I mean, I don't know. Here's the soft, weird, 596 00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:24,200 Speaker 1: fleshy thing that lives in my mouth. It's for you, now, 597 00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:27,600 Speaker 1: it's for you. Now here, take it. I'm gonna try 598 00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:33,800 Speaker 1: that on my husband. Yeah, just here. Uh uh yeah. 599 00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:36,320 Speaker 1: I guess what we do is weirder because I assume 600 00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:39,480 Speaker 1: the female doesn't put that in her mouth too. Yeah, 601 00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:43,600 Speaker 1: probably not. So there you go. Camels less disgusting than humans. 602 00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:47,719 Speaker 1: But that's what we've figured out here. Good for camels, 603 00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:56,640 Speaker 1: Good for camels. Bridget I promise that we would talk 604 00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:59,719 Speaker 1: about factory and camels, and now here we are going 605 00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:05,759 Speaker 1: to talk about. So. Bactrian camels may not be what 606 00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:08,759 Speaker 1: you imagine when you think about a camel, or I mean, 607 00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:11,279 Speaker 1: maybe it is. I don't know I, I don't know you. 608 00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:16,879 Speaker 1: But these were actually the more of the o g camels. 609 00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:24,120 Speaker 1: There's genetic evidence and fetal development of Dromedary camels suggests 610 00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:29,440 Speaker 1: that they probably evolved from the Bactrian camels wild ancestors, 611 00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:34,040 Speaker 1: rather than the Bactrian camels evolving from dromedary like camels. 612 00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:40,880 Speaker 1: So uh, Bactrian camels today are domesticated, just like the dromedaries. 613 00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:46,000 Speaker 1: There is a species known as the wild bactory and camel, 614 00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:50,759 Speaker 1: but This is actually not like a wild version or 615 00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:54,880 Speaker 1: a feral version of the domesticated Bactrian camel. It is 616 00:45:54,920 --> 00:46:00,160 Speaker 1: a relative of the Bactrian camel that diverged evolutionarily. We're 617 00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:04,040 Speaker 1: a million years ago. So we will talk about the 618 00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:08,120 Speaker 1: wild Bactrian camel in a bit. They are amazing, but 619 00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:13,480 Speaker 1: first let's talk about the Bactrian camel, the domesticated Bactrian camel. So, 620 00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:18,640 Speaker 1: domesticated Bactrian camels are not just adapted for the heat, 621 00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:24,319 Speaker 1: but for extreme cold. So even though camels are known 622 00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:28,400 Speaker 1: for living in hunt climates, camel ancestors actually adapted to 623 00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:33,719 Speaker 1: climates such as the cold, extreme cold temperatures, and the 624 00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:38,320 Speaker 1: Bactrian camel today still has to contend with the extreme cold. 625 00:46:39,239 --> 00:46:42,640 Speaker 1: So the bactory and camel is native to the steps 626 00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:48,520 Speaker 1: of Central Asia, which are flat grasslands at a high altitude. 627 00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:54,279 Speaker 1: So Bactrian camels do have similar adaptations to the Dromedary 628 00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:58,800 Speaker 1: camels in terms of surviving drought and starvation. They actually 629 00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:02,440 Speaker 1: have to humps instead of one hump, but the humps 630 00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:06,360 Speaker 1: served the same purpose as the dromedary camels. They store fat, 631 00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:10,840 Speaker 1: but uh they also tend to be taller. The humps 632 00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:13,160 Speaker 1: tend to be taller than the dromedaries, and when they 633 00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:16,880 Speaker 1: are low on fat, that makes them flop over to 634 00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:18,920 Speaker 1: one side. So when the bactin is kind of like 635 00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:22,800 Speaker 1: uh using some of the fat stores, these these humps 636 00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:29,920 Speaker 1: flop over, oh, floppy humps. Floppy humps. And actually, something 637 00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:32,439 Speaker 1: that I didn't mention with the dromedary but is true 638 00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:35,520 Speaker 1: of them as well as it is true with the 639 00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:39,320 Speaker 1: bactreen camels, is that they have another trick up their sleeve. 640 00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:43,040 Speaker 1: If they are really running out of food, they will 641 00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:47,920 Speaker 1: no longer. They will not just restrict themselves to vegetation. 642 00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:53,040 Speaker 1: They will eat bones. So they will eat the bones 643 00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:56,759 Speaker 1: or even the kind of like leathery flesh from mummified 644 00:47:56,840 --> 00:48:00,920 Speaker 1: or decaying carcasses. And they have even been known to 645 00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:06,840 Speaker 1: eat tints and rope when they are desperate enough. All that, 646 00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:12,880 Speaker 1: but that can't provide anything, I mean bones, certainly because 647 00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:18,080 Speaker 1: they're eating like marrow essentially. Yeah, all bloodies don't eat 648 00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:23,560 Speaker 1: the rope rope, phone, help you. I like these guys. 649 00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:26,799 Speaker 1: They're yeah, they're they're short. They got two humps. That 650 00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:33,200 Speaker 1: makes them better than the one hump camel. Camel war 651 00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:38,719 Speaker 1: But yeah, objectively. This is like a sneeches a situation, 652 00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:41,239 Speaker 1: isn't it. Yeah, I don't. I don't want to start 653 00:48:41,239 --> 00:48:43,960 Speaker 1: this amongst camels, but it kind of seems objective to 654 00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:50,640 Speaker 1: me that, you know, two humps or they're taller, yeah, 655 00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:56,400 Speaker 1: the smaller Yeah on a smaller camel, bigger humps, and 656 00:48:56,520 --> 00:49:02,200 Speaker 1: they fluffy. They are massively ma sibly fluffy. So yeah, 657 00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:08,759 Speaker 1: this one looks like it's well, it's interesting. So they are. 658 00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:12,280 Speaker 1: They have a very thick furry coat in the winter 659 00:49:12,440 --> 00:49:18,080 Speaker 1: that is just completely poofy, like so fluffy. I'm talking like, 660 00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:24,600 Speaker 1: you know, just bison levels of total fluff. Beyond that, 661 00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:27,680 Speaker 1: they're like I like, yeah, I like its chest fluff. 662 00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:32,120 Speaker 1: They have so much fluff, and I mean I I 663 00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:33,959 Speaker 1: just kind of want to like hug one of these 664 00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:39,120 Speaker 1: things and get lost in the It is so fluffy. 665 00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:44,480 Speaker 1: It actually will shed this winter coat in the summer, 666 00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:48,640 Speaker 1: spring and summer and it will fall off in these huge, 667 00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:53,040 Speaker 1: messy clumps. And it looks like a toddler took a 668 00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:56,560 Speaker 1: pair of razor to this poor camel and just started 669 00:49:56,680 --> 00:49:59,759 Speaker 1: going to town. But it looks like that camels going 670 00:49:59,800 --> 00:50:03,319 Speaker 1: through or something. Yeah, yeah, or like the camel's just 671 00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:07,480 Speaker 1: kind of like decaying or something. But it's totally natural. 672 00:50:07,640 --> 00:50:10,480 Speaker 1: It's just that this coat has to come off, and 673 00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:13,080 Speaker 1: it comes off really rapidly, so it comes off in 674 00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:15,959 Speaker 1: these huge chunks. That makes it look like a cat 675 00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:21,640 Speaker 1: an incredibly bad day at a barber's. Yeah, I like that. 676 00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:25,160 Speaker 1: In this picture, it seems to be like middle, then top, 677 00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:27,840 Speaker 1: the bottom, so it still has all that like proud 678 00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:33,960 Speaker 1: chest fluff, but the top is a is a mess. Yeah, 679 00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:38,279 Speaker 1: in the middle is patchy at best. When I'm also 680 00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:40,560 Speaker 1: confused about it is this camel seems to be outside 681 00:50:40,560 --> 00:50:44,440 Speaker 1: a house, and therefore I assume is taken care of 682 00:50:44,520 --> 00:50:46,759 Speaker 1: by the people who live in that house. Can't they 683 00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:50,320 Speaker 1: just shave that camel? I mean, it's but this is natural. 684 00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:52,760 Speaker 1: For the camera, it's gonna do it. Yeah, it's gonna 685 00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:57,600 Speaker 1: do it regardless. I would just it's not probably bothering him. Yeah, 686 00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:00,960 Speaker 1: I wonder if I guess they don't, because, like you know, 687 00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:02,640 Speaker 1: when you give a dog a haircut and they can 688 00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:07,719 Speaker 1: get embarrassed about it. I do have to trim my 689 00:51:07,880 --> 00:51:11,000 Speaker 1: dog's butt fluffies otherwise the poop can get stuck to 690 00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:15,400 Speaker 1: the butt fluff and the amount of treats it takes 691 00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:22,960 Speaker 1: to bribe her to tolerate the butt fluffy haircut is enormous. Yeah. No, 692 00:51:23,239 --> 00:51:26,359 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know what you're doing back there. Yeah. 693 00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:30,080 Speaker 1: If that hair, yeah, if that hair just falls fell off, 694 00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:33,560 Speaker 1: I assume, Yeah, it's better just let it. Yeah. And 695 00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:37,160 Speaker 1: the reason that they are they have to go through 696 00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:41,680 Speaker 1: this incredible change from being like this incredible poofy fluffy 697 00:51:41,719 --> 00:51:45,120 Speaker 1: thing to having a very short coat is that they 698 00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:50,480 Speaker 1: live in an environment that has the most dramatic temperature 699 00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:56,400 Speaker 1: changes of almost anywhere in the world. Because from for 700 00:51:56,600 --> 00:52:00,000 Speaker 1: the Steps and the Gobi Desert, it can get down 701 00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:05,280 Speaker 1: into five degrees to negative twenty degrees Fahrenheite in the winter, 702 00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:10,600 Speaker 1: which is negative fifteen degrees to negative thirty degrees celsius, 703 00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:15,840 Speaker 1: which is so so cold, um and in the summer 704 00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:19,839 Speaker 1: gets up to temperatures of around a hundred degrees fahrenheit 705 00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:24,279 Speaker 1: or over or thirty eight degrees celsius, so goes from 706 00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:30,840 Speaker 1: being increasous below freezing cold to being boiling, blistering lee hot. 707 00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:35,880 Speaker 1: Good for them, you know, to be able to groom 708 00:52:35,920 --> 00:52:40,640 Speaker 1: themselves for that. Yeah, that's that's a that's a good 709 00:52:40,719 --> 00:52:44,160 Speaker 1: trait that also, Yeah, I would if it was that hot, 710 00:52:44,160 --> 00:52:47,120 Speaker 1: I'd find a way to get anything off my body. Yeah, 711 00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:54,600 Speaker 1: I just start peeling my skin off. Yeah. Yeah, but yeah, 712 00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:59,520 Speaker 1: And they also have adaptations that allow them to survive 713 00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:04,000 Speaker 1: in the really dry winter condition because winters can even 714 00:53:04,040 --> 00:53:06,680 Speaker 1: though like we think some in certain climates you think 715 00:53:06,719 --> 00:53:09,000 Speaker 1: of winters as being maybe kind of wet, a lot 716 00:53:09,040 --> 00:53:14,520 Speaker 1: of rain or something, winter extremely dry, the factory and 717 00:53:14,600 --> 00:53:18,719 Speaker 1: camel can actually eat small amounts of snow to stay hydrated, 718 00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:23,960 Speaker 1: which is not something you should do as a human. Yeah, 719 00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:28,040 Speaker 1: I guess not. No, you should not. If you if 720 00:53:28,040 --> 00:53:30,840 Speaker 1: it's on the ground, if it came from the sky, 721 00:53:31,560 --> 00:53:35,000 Speaker 1: no you should not. You shouldn't eat even fresh snow 722 00:53:35,200 --> 00:53:38,839 Speaker 1: for hydration because you're actually going to dehydrate yourself more. 723 00:53:38,960 --> 00:53:44,360 Speaker 1: It takes more moisture for you to process that really 724 00:53:44,520 --> 00:53:48,840 Speaker 1: cold cold snow, and your body essentially has to like 725 00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:51,680 Speaker 1: melt it so that you can process it, and it 726 00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:57,200 Speaker 1: ends up on net causing making your metabolism work harder, 727 00:53:57,840 --> 00:54:01,080 Speaker 1: and so you actually end up loose using water when 728 00:54:01,160 --> 00:54:04,680 Speaker 1: you eat snow like that. So if you are hiking 729 00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:07,960 Speaker 1: in the snow and you're thirsty, do not eat the 730 00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:13,040 Speaker 1: snow unless you're a back drain camel, or you boil 731 00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:17,120 Speaker 1: that snow. I don't know, you boil the snow from Florida. 732 00:54:17,120 --> 00:54:18,960 Speaker 1: I live in California. Now, I don't have a lot 733 00:54:18,960 --> 00:54:21,719 Speaker 1: of snow experience, right, I don't. I don't know what 734 00:54:21,840 --> 00:54:25,799 Speaker 1: it takes. Yeah, yeah you can. You can catch snowflakes 735 00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:28,920 Speaker 1: on your tongue. That's fine, but don't don't eat snow 736 00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:32,759 Speaker 1: if you are hiking in your thirsty it's not not 737 00:54:32,880 --> 00:54:35,879 Speaker 1: a good situation unless you boil it. But the back 738 00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:38,919 Speaker 1: drain camel can eat small amounts of snow. It can't 739 00:54:38,960 --> 00:54:41,399 Speaker 1: go overboard or else. It will actually encounter the same 740 00:54:41,440 --> 00:54:43,719 Speaker 1: problem as humans and other mammals. But they are one 741 00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:48,080 Speaker 1: of the few animals that are able to eat snow, 742 00:54:48,560 --> 00:54:52,080 Speaker 1: and they have a fish and enough internal thermal regulation 743 00:54:52,640 --> 00:54:57,279 Speaker 1: to be able to turn the snow into something that 744 00:54:57,400 --> 00:55:01,560 Speaker 1: actually hydrates them. So uh, it is a really really 745 00:55:01,640 --> 00:55:06,759 Speaker 1: useful adaptation for them that we do not possess. Good 746 00:55:06,800 --> 00:55:13,400 Speaker 1: for them, Good for them, I mean, you know, maybe 747 00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:15,759 Speaker 1: maybe live in a nicer climate. Camme, well, it will 748 00:55:15,800 --> 00:55:18,759 Speaker 1: be a lot easier for you. But you know, like 749 00:55:18,880 --> 00:55:22,879 Speaker 1: we're making it work and work camels take a break, 750 00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:27,759 Speaker 1: moved to the beach. It's like like, well I'm tired 751 00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:30,280 Speaker 1: of the cold, Well let me move to the desert instead. 752 00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:35,080 Speaker 1: That was the decision they made. Um. Yeah, but they 753 00:55:35,120 --> 00:55:39,800 Speaker 1: actually were really important in human history, the backt and camel. 754 00:55:40,120 --> 00:55:44,239 Speaker 1: Their ability to survive in incredibly harsh conditions from the 755 00:55:44,360 --> 00:55:48,680 Speaker 1: extreme heat to the extreme cold, allowed humans to use 756 00:55:48,760 --> 00:55:52,680 Speaker 1: them as pack animals along the Silk Road, and without 757 00:55:52,680 --> 00:55:58,799 Speaker 1: this camel, this trade route would probably not have been possible. Yeah, that, 758 00:55:59,120 --> 00:56:01,600 Speaker 1: I mean makes a lot of sense because I feel 759 00:56:01,600 --> 00:56:05,240 Speaker 1: like I've seen pictures of camels like packed up with stuff, 760 00:56:05,280 --> 00:56:09,680 Speaker 1: and it seems easy for them. It seems like they 761 00:56:09,719 --> 00:56:13,240 Speaker 1: got it. Yeah, I mean they are. They're they're strong, 762 00:56:14,520 --> 00:56:20,560 Speaker 1: and they they are very they can they travel long distances. 763 00:56:20,600 --> 00:56:24,239 Speaker 1: They're very good at traveling long distances, and they are 764 00:56:24,280 --> 00:56:27,800 Speaker 1: extremely hardy and they can survive a really long time 765 00:56:27,840 --> 00:56:32,279 Speaker 1: without food or waters. So they're amazing as pack animals. Now, 766 00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:35,520 Speaker 1: whether they enjoy it, I don't know. I don't know 767 00:56:35,560 --> 00:56:41,200 Speaker 1: if they Yeah, but they can handle it. And uh, 768 00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:44,640 Speaker 1: I don't think anybody enjoys walking that long. I don't think. 769 00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:48,160 Speaker 1: I don't think the humans were having a great time either, 770 00:56:48,560 --> 00:56:52,960 Speaker 1: probably not. They did help. I mean this was before 771 00:56:53,040 --> 00:56:56,880 Speaker 1: we had like jeeps, so you know we had how 772 00:56:56,920 --> 00:57:01,520 Speaker 1: to use camels. We had to use Joe Camel. Yeah, 773 00:57:01,880 --> 00:57:05,920 Speaker 1: impart all the cigarettes. Oh man, Joe Camel such a 774 00:57:05,960 --> 00:57:09,319 Speaker 1: bad look for camels. Yeah, no, he wasn't. He wasn't 775 00:57:09,320 --> 00:57:12,879 Speaker 1: their best spokesperson. No, no, they should have sent someone else, 776 00:57:12,960 --> 00:57:18,439 Speaker 1: but we got Joe. Um. But even though they look 777 00:57:18,840 --> 00:57:21,680 Speaker 1: like kind of ungainly like, they wouldn't be able to 778 00:57:21,760 --> 00:57:26,320 Speaker 1: run very fast, especially because they're fluffy back during camels 779 00:57:26,320 --> 00:57:29,840 Speaker 1: as well as actually the drumedary camels can run pretty fast, 780 00:57:30,160 --> 00:57:36,520 Speaker 1: up to forty miles per hour or sixty kilometers per hour. Typically, 781 00:57:36,560 --> 00:57:39,600 Speaker 1: they don't like to run. That's not like their thing. 782 00:57:39,760 --> 00:57:43,040 Speaker 1: They don't gallop around just for just for fun. But 783 00:57:43,120 --> 00:57:45,720 Speaker 1: they can't. They don't seem like runners. Yeah, they don't. 784 00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:48,840 Speaker 1: They don't strike me as runners. They're not. They have 785 00:57:48,920 --> 00:57:52,200 Speaker 1: those long legs, but I can't imagine that their bodies 786 00:57:52,240 --> 00:57:58,520 Speaker 1: are so misshapen to their legs. They're they're awkward. They're 787 00:57:58,520 --> 00:58:00,800 Speaker 1: a little awkward. They I mean, they are capable of 788 00:58:00,880 --> 00:58:04,160 Speaker 1: running pretty fast, they just it is not not they're 789 00:58:04,200 --> 00:58:07,120 Speaker 1: like not a fun activity for them. They're not like 790 00:58:07,360 --> 00:58:14,160 Speaker 1: up at six am and they're in there. They Yeah, 791 00:58:14,320 --> 00:58:16,440 Speaker 1: they seem low energy or they just know how to 792 00:58:16,480 --> 00:58:20,160 Speaker 1: conserve that energy. Yeah, with their with their CrossFit tennis 793 00:58:20,200 --> 00:58:25,760 Speaker 1: shoes and they're yeah, I'm trying to think of the 794 00:58:26,280 --> 00:58:29,520 Speaker 1: runner like intense runner outfits. Yeah, they have they have 795 00:58:29,680 --> 00:58:32,160 Speaker 1: the belt with why they don't need the belt they 796 00:58:32,720 --> 00:58:38,240 Speaker 1: like water belt yew, they got got the tube like 797 00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:42,520 Speaker 1: the water backpack. That third picture you have with this 798 00:58:42,640 --> 00:58:50,640 Speaker 1: factory and camel um, it's so funny. I do like 799 00:58:51,120 --> 00:58:53,919 Speaker 1: that they seem to keep tufts of hair on the top. 800 00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:55,800 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's just waiting to lose those 801 00:58:55,880 --> 00:58:58,720 Speaker 1: like thinner tufts of hair on the top of its 802 00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:02,920 Speaker 1: back or humps, uh, but I like that it's just 803 00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:06,280 Speaker 1: like a little decorative poof Yeah. I think they kind 804 00:59:06,280 --> 00:59:09,280 Speaker 1: of keep those whispies, like those kind of dark whispies 805 00:59:09,320 --> 00:59:13,080 Speaker 1: on the top of their humps. That's fun. It's really fun. 806 00:59:13,880 --> 00:59:16,560 Speaker 1: It's just it's just fun. And I also like he 807 00:59:16,680 --> 00:59:21,560 Speaker 1: has like he kept like top of the it looks 808 00:59:21,600 --> 00:59:25,560 Speaker 1: like I know people with his hair cut. Yeahs like 809 00:59:25,600 --> 00:59:30,320 Speaker 1: a nineties boy band like middle part haircut. Yeah. Good 810 00:59:31,480 --> 00:59:34,840 Speaker 1: it's good. Uh, it's it's a look. It looks like yeah, 811 00:59:34,880 --> 00:59:37,320 Speaker 1: it's just it looks like this camel's like starting new 812 00:59:37,520 --> 00:59:41,720 Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, he's a he's a what is it 813 00:59:42,280 --> 00:59:48,400 Speaker 1: Backstreet boys? Yeah, yeah, I I like his haircut. I 814 00:59:48,440 --> 00:59:50,840 Speaker 1: think he's he's doing good. He looks like, you know, 815 00:59:52,640 --> 00:59:55,480 Speaker 1: it doesn't look that much like a crisis. I mean 816 00:59:55,520 --> 00:59:57,880 Speaker 1: there's a little crisis going on underneath. But at the 817 00:59:57,880 --> 01:00:01,480 Speaker 1: top he's grooming himself. Ye yeah, I mean like if 818 01:00:01,480 --> 01:00:05,280 Speaker 1: you ignore him from sort of like the waist downs, 819 01:00:05,400 --> 01:00:09,960 Speaker 1: he's well groomed. Yeah. Um, it does look like one 820 01:00:09,960 --> 01:00:14,800 Speaker 1: of those Chinese crested dogs. It does a little bit, yeah, 821 01:00:15,120 --> 01:00:17,680 Speaker 1: which I do, which I do think are cute. Yeah, 822 01:00:17,760 --> 01:00:21,000 Speaker 1: I do. I for the fluff, but you know, this 823 01:00:21,080 --> 01:00:24,320 Speaker 1: camel's figuring out his look. Without this camel, it's got 824 01:00:24,320 --> 01:00:26,600 Speaker 1: the best of both worlds because like in the winter, 825 01:00:27,080 --> 01:00:31,960 Speaker 1: fluff for days, and then the summer, boy, yeah, and 826 01:00:32,080 --> 01:00:35,320 Speaker 1: the summer he's shedding. You know, yeah, you prepared, you 827 01:00:35,440 --> 01:00:38,160 Speaker 1: prepared for the summer, and he knew what his look 828 01:00:38,280 --> 01:00:41,240 Speaker 1: was going to be exactly, yeah, and he achieved it, 829 01:00:41,800 --> 01:00:43,920 Speaker 1: he really did. I really like that. He does have 830 01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:47,920 Speaker 1: this like like human like haircut. I hope he keeps 831 01:00:47,920 --> 01:00:51,440 Speaker 1: that for the summer. Kind of dark roots too. Yeah. Yeah, 832 01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:54,440 Speaker 1: it's grown out a little bit, a little bit of 833 01:00:54,840 --> 01:00:57,680 Speaker 1: mullet shape going on, but he has he is is 834 01:00:58,000 --> 01:01:03,280 Speaker 1: swoopy hair, little haircut. Yeah, really cute. Yeah, and it's 835 01:01:03,320 --> 01:01:09,240 Speaker 1: a little pomp pomps back. Do you like like? I 836 01:01:09,280 --> 01:01:11,160 Speaker 1: like that? They just like keep that. They're just like 837 01:01:11,200 --> 01:01:16,200 Speaker 1: these are for me, just like keep them keeping them. Yeah, 838 01:01:16,360 --> 01:01:23,720 Speaker 1: So onto. The only undomesticated wild camel still left in 839 01:01:23,760 --> 01:01:27,600 Speaker 1: the world the wild Bactrian. So again, this is not 840 01:01:27,720 --> 01:01:31,080 Speaker 1: like a feral version of the Bactrian camel. This is 841 01:01:31,120 --> 01:01:35,320 Speaker 1: a different species that diverged over a million years ago 842 01:01:36,600 --> 01:01:41,920 Speaker 1: and it is the only still living, completely wild and 843 01:01:42,040 --> 01:01:47,840 Speaker 1: free camel. Now. Unfortunately, they are critically endangered. Only around 844 01:01:47,920 --> 01:01:51,840 Speaker 1: a thousand individuals still exists in the wild, and in 845 01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:55,120 Speaker 1: my opinion, it is really important to make sure they 846 01:01:55,120 --> 01:01:59,080 Speaker 1: do not go extinct because they are incredible. So they 847 01:01:59,120 --> 01:02:03,360 Speaker 1: live in the Gobi Desert and in China's Lopnur Desert 848 01:02:03,560 --> 01:02:07,400 Speaker 1: mountain region in protected reserves, and these are the only 849 01:02:07,440 --> 01:02:11,920 Speaker 1: places where you will find them. The wild Bactrian camel 850 01:02:12,160 --> 01:02:16,160 Speaker 1: is more lithe and wiry than its domesticated counterparts, a 851 01:02:16,160 --> 01:02:21,600 Speaker 1: little more sleek, little more aerodynamic. Uh, it looks similar, 852 01:02:21,960 --> 01:02:26,000 Speaker 1: more similar to the Bactrian camel, the domesticated Bactrian camel, 853 01:02:26,040 --> 01:02:29,360 Speaker 1: than it does to a dromedary camel. It has two humps, 854 01:02:29,480 --> 01:02:32,480 Speaker 1: it's got that the same a lot of the same features, 855 01:02:32,520 --> 01:02:35,120 Speaker 1: the fluffy coat in the wind winter that it sheds 856 01:02:35,120 --> 01:02:38,680 Speaker 1: in the summer because it lives in similar conditions in 857 01:02:39,360 --> 01:02:44,040 Speaker 1: the the extreme hot and extreme cold climates. So yeah, 858 01:02:44,040 --> 01:02:46,880 Speaker 1: it is. It is very similar in a lot of 859 01:02:46,920 --> 01:02:50,560 Speaker 1: ways to the domesticated Bactrian camel. Yeah it Uh, this 860 01:02:50,640 --> 01:02:54,800 Speaker 1: looks like a wild camel now that I'm comparing, this 861 01:02:54,880 --> 01:02:58,920 Speaker 1: looks like the this guy who's been out there, live 862 01:02:58,960 --> 01:03:00,960 Speaker 1: in the he has been the road, live in a 863 01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:08,200 Speaker 1: hard life. He also, yeah, I mean he's he's clearly 864 01:03:08,200 --> 01:03:11,720 Speaker 1: losing patches of flour. But yeah, there's something about this 865 01:03:11,760 --> 01:03:16,200 Speaker 1: one's eyes that is like I've seen out here. Um, 866 01:03:16,240 --> 01:03:18,320 Speaker 1: it's not. It looks a little more alert than the 867 01:03:18,360 --> 01:03:23,880 Speaker 1: other camels do. And indeed they have seen they have 868 01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:29,120 Speaker 1: seen some stuff, some crazy stuff. They actually faced nuclear 869 01:03:29,160 --> 01:03:34,920 Speaker 1: threats from humans in the sixties. Uh. China in the 870 01:03:35,040 --> 01:03:41,000 Speaker 1: sixties tested nuclear weapons in the atmosphere overlap near Um 871 01:03:41,120 --> 01:03:44,640 Speaker 1: where these camels were located, so they were exposed to 872 01:03:44,680 --> 01:03:51,240 Speaker 1: a lot of radiation. Oh. Weirdly enough, the camels survived. 873 01:03:51,280 --> 01:03:56,480 Speaker 1: They were okay. Uh. They survived nuclear radiation from forty 874 01:03:56,600 --> 01:04:03,040 Speaker 1: three nuclear tests over the Lobner region And it's really amazing. 875 01:04:03,080 --> 01:04:06,960 Speaker 1: It's hard to say how they managed this. It's possible 876 01:04:07,040 --> 01:04:11,160 Speaker 1: that they're thick fur and skin may have protected them somewhat. 877 01:04:11,760 --> 01:04:15,160 Speaker 1: There may also be something going on with their gut bacteria. 878 01:04:15,560 --> 01:04:18,720 Speaker 1: I'll talk about that a little more in just a minute. 879 01:04:18,800 --> 01:04:23,320 Speaker 1: But it's really incredible that they are were able to 880 01:04:23,480 --> 01:04:30,640 Speaker 1: survive like nuclear radiation, extreme hot, extreme cold, nuclear radiation. 881 01:04:31,520 --> 01:04:36,080 Speaker 1: That's mind blowing these That's a sturdy animal and it 882 01:04:36,160 --> 01:04:43,120 Speaker 1: did not deserve that. But that's that's incredible. I yeah, 883 01:04:43,200 --> 01:04:45,400 Speaker 1: I guess it could be like camels and cockroaches at 884 01:04:45,440 --> 01:04:48,720 Speaker 1: the end here. Yeah, no, I mean yeah, I think 885 01:04:49,680 --> 01:04:55,440 Speaker 1: of the animals that may survive a like a nuclear winter, 886 01:04:55,640 --> 01:05:00,720 Speaker 1: God forbid, maybe a camel. Yeah. Who would have thought? 887 01:05:00,800 --> 01:05:04,400 Speaker 1: Not me. I would not have. They would not have 888 01:05:04,440 --> 01:05:06,720 Speaker 1: been at the top of my list. But I'm proud 889 01:05:06,720 --> 01:05:09,480 Speaker 1: of them. I'm proud of hopefully they don't have to 890 01:05:09,520 --> 01:05:13,200 Speaker 1: do that again. But yeah, hopefully, because I'll tell you 891 01:05:13,240 --> 01:05:18,440 Speaker 1: one thing, they'd survive a lot better than humans one. Yeah, yeah, 892 01:05:18,800 --> 01:05:24,280 Speaker 1: uh that I'm proud. I'm happy for them, very happy 893 01:05:24,320 --> 01:05:28,160 Speaker 1: for them. Some good news is that in China signed 894 01:05:28,200 --> 01:05:32,200 Speaker 1: the Comprehensive Test Band Treaty, so those nuclear tests no 895 01:05:32,240 --> 01:05:36,560 Speaker 1: longer happen and now the area is a sanctuary for 896 01:05:36,800 --> 01:05:42,640 Speaker 1: the camels. Oh yeah, I love that for them. Yeah, 897 01:05:44,040 --> 01:05:47,880 Speaker 1: let them. You can't hug with nuclear arms, but you 898 01:05:47,960 --> 01:05:51,200 Speaker 1: can't hug a camel. It might spit at you. But 899 01:05:51,400 --> 01:05:55,200 Speaker 1: you know, yeah, but you know, we all get puked 900 01:05:55,240 --> 01:05:59,520 Speaker 1: on a little bit of one point exactly or puke 901 01:05:59,600 --> 01:06:06,960 Speaker 1: on or yeah, and it's the beautiful circle of puke. 902 01:06:07,800 --> 01:06:14,400 Speaker 1: Uh so uh. Something that is super super fascinating about 903 01:06:14,440 --> 01:06:19,760 Speaker 1: these wild bactory and camels. So domesticated camels, the drummedaries 904 01:06:19,840 --> 01:06:26,120 Speaker 1: and the domesticated Bactrian camels can tolerate slightly salty water, uh, 905 01:06:26,160 --> 01:06:30,720 Speaker 1: slightly brackish water they'll be able to drink and uh process. 906 01:06:30,760 --> 01:06:35,360 Speaker 1: But the wild bactory and camel amazingly can drink salt 907 01:06:35,440 --> 01:06:40,600 Speaker 1: water that is saltier than seawater, which again is not 908 01:06:40,760 --> 01:06:45,280 Speaker 1: recommended for humans because it will kill you. If you 909 01:06:45,360 --> 01:06:50,080 Speaker 1: drink you drink too much seawater, you're gonna die because 910 01:06:50,160 --> 01:06:53,080 Speaker 1: that is your body is not designed to be able 911 01:06:53,080 --> 01:06:58,200 Speaker 1: to handle that much salt. That is that I know that, 912 01:06:58,320 --> 01:07:04,040 Speaker 1: I'm very well aware of the Yeah, I have blown 913 01:07:04,080 --> 01:07:08,320 Speaker 1: away by these damn camels. We've learned two things today 914 01:07:08,360 --> 01:07:12,280 Speaker 1: about human survival. Is that like, if you're thirsty in 915 01:07:12,320 --> 01:07:16,080 Speaker 1: the snow, don't eat snow. You're thirsty out at sea, 916 01:07:16,200 --> 01:07:22,720 Speaker 1: don't drink the sea water unless your camel. And yeah, 917 01:07:22,800 --> 01:07:27,280 Speaker 1: wild back during camel it's fine, You're good. Um they 918 01:07:27,320 --> 01:07:31,960 Speaker 1: are so, yes, I mean, the exact mechanism for how 919 01:07:32,000 --> 01:07:36,440 Speaker 1: they managed to drink this incredibly salty water is not 920 01:07:36,560 --> 01:07:41,040 Speaker 1: yet known, but summary research is pointing in the direction 921 01:07:41,200 --> 01:07:45,320 Speaker 1: of special gut bacteria that may be passed from the 922 01:07:45,480 --> 01:07:50,400 Speaker 1: mother's milk to her offspring that allows them to process 923 01:07:50,520 --> 01:07:53,920 Speaker 1: high salt content. So this is research that is just 924 01:07:54,080 --> 01:07:56,960 Speaker 1: kind of like starting to figure these things out. So 925 01:07:57,080 --> 01:08:02,000 Speaker 1: it's not I mean, I have not seen like conclusive research. 926 01:08:02,160 --> 01:08:04,640 Speaker 1: If anyone out there is a camel researcher and you 927 01:08:04,720 --> 01:08:09,280 Speaker 1: know more, please let me know right right to me. Yeah, 928 01:08:09,720 --> 01:08:13,240 Speaker 1: the camel is mysterious and how it survives. It's you 929 01:08:13,360 --> 01:08:15,840 Speaker 1: think we know everything about the ding camel right at 930 01:08:15,880 --> 01:08:18,479 Speaker 1: this point. It's like, Okay, sure, we don't know that 931 01:08:18,600 --> 01:08:22,960 Speaker 1: much about this random like cave moss that nobody studied 932 01:08:23,040 --> 01:08:28,400 Speaker 1: or something, or this in this obscure tiny frog, uh 933 01:08:28,720 --> 01:08:31,559 Speaker 1: deep in the rainforest. But this is a camel, and 934 01:08:31,600 --> 01:08:34,639 Speaker 1: we don't know everything about this camel. It's I mean, 935 01:08:35,040 --> 01:08:37,599 Speaker 1: it's kind of amazing that we still have so much 936 01:08:37,640 --> 01:08:42,679 Speaker 1: to learn about this camel. Yeah, you know, don't be 937 01:08:42,800 --> 01:08:45,960 Speaker 1: fooled by their dopey looks. Are full of mystery. They 938 01:08:46,000 --> 01:08:51,599 Speaker 1: contain multitudes they I mean in those humps. Mhmm, you're 939 01:08:51,640 --> 01:08:59,680 Speaker 1: just looking those humps, those humps, those lovely camel humps. Yeah, 940 01:08:59,720 --> 01:09:05,240 Speaker 1: that's sad, he did not, like. Yeah, they're they're serious 941 01:09:05,280 --> 01:09:11,400 Speaker 1: creatures and that turns out badasses. Yeah, basses. Yeah. I 942 01:09:11,520 --> 01:09:14,559 Speaker 1: really I will keep up to date on the camel 943 01:09:14,600 --> 01:09:18,240 Speaker 1: research because I'm really interested in how these wild back 944 01:09:18,320 --> 01:09:24,160 Speaker 1: dreen camels are able to survive radiation and drink salt 945 01:09:24,240 --> 01:09:29,880 Speaker 1: water saltier than seawater. It's incredible, truly, Like, I really 946 01:09:29,920 --> 01:09:34,599 Speaker 1: do think that these camels would survive in apocalypse. Yeah, 947 01:09:34,640 --> 01:09:39,160 Speaker 1: it seems like it. They're there way heartier than they 948 01:09:39,200 --> 01:09:42,600 Speaker 1: seem because again, there's such like an awkward preacher. I 949 01:09:42,600 --> 01:09:46,840 Speaker 1: think that's why they're like so lovable. Is weird looking 950 01:09:46,960 --> 01:09:49,919 Speaker 1: and they have those dopey faces and this weird body, 951 01:09:49,920 --> 01:09:52,479 Speaker 1: but you know they're they're more than they look. If 952 01:09:52,479 --> 01:09:55,960 Speaker 1: you said, like, describe a hardy animal, the last thing 953 01:09:56,040 --> 01:09:58,960 Speaker 1: I would think of would be a camel, right, describe 954 01:09:58,960 --> 01:10:05,519 Speaker 1: a hardcore like uh mad max sort of level, you know, 955 01:10:05,640 --> 01:10:10,320 Speaker 1: just the furious of the animal kingdom. It is a camel. Yeah. 956 01:10:10,360 --> 01:10:15,679 Speaker 1: It turns out there the Charlie's there on, especially those 957 01:10:15,720 --> 01:10:24,320 Speaker 1: lovely eyelashes. Yes, hot, and can survive a post apocalyptic world. 958 01:10:24,400 --> 01:10:27,960 Speaker 1: What what more could you want? I mean, I don't know, 959 01:10:28,760 --> 01:10:32,400 Speaker 1: but I mean, despite the fact that these are hardcore survivalists, 960 01:10:32,439 --> 01:10:36,160 Speaker 1: like I mentioned, they are critically endangered and that's because 961 01:10:36,400 --> 01:10:43,479 Speaker 1: of you know, human encroachment on their habitat and hunting. So, uh, 962 01:10:43,520 --> 01:10:46,920 Speaker 1: you know, I am really rooting for these camels though, 963 01:10:46,960 --> 01:10:50,479 Speaker 1: because it just doesn't seem fair to you know, wipe 964 01:10:50,520 --> 01:10:54,360 Speaker 1: them out. Yeah, they can deal with all these crazy 965 01:10:54,360 --> 01:11:01,879 Speaker 1: elements and even our nuclear bullsh and yeah, and perhaps 966 01:11:01,920 --> 01:11:06,479 Speaker 1: they shall inherit the earth. You know, that seems like 967 01:11:06,520 --> 01:11:11,720 Speaker 1: a better earth, Camel earth. I don't know about the 968 01:11:11,720 --> 01:11:14,400 Speaker 1: tongue thing in the in the spinning, but you know 969 01:11:15,360 --> 01:11:18,160 Speaker 1: they've they've got some stuff figured out clearly that we don't. 970 01:11:18,160 --> 01:11:20,080 Speaker 1: They do have a lot of stuff figured out.

So that so Bridget, 978 01:11:56,040 --> 01:11:58,280 Speaker 1: are you ready to play a little game with me? 979 01:11:59,439 --> 01:12:04,640 Speaker 1: Always guess well, we're gonna play guests Who's Squawking? The 980 01:12:04,880 --> 01:12:09,320 Speaker 1: Mystery Animal sound game? Every week we play a mystery 981 01:12:09,520 --> 01:12:13,080 Speaker 1: animal sound and you listeners out there and you, my guest, 982 01:12:13,560 --> 01:12:16,559 Speaker 1: have to give who is squawking? And it can be 983 01:12:16,680 --> 01:12:21,160 Speaker 1: any animal from a fish to a bird too. I 984 01:12:21,240 --> 01:12:26,000 Speaker 1: don't know, some kind of snake anything. And the only 985 01:12:26,040 --> 01:12:29,280 Speaker 1: thing you get is the animal sound animal hint. Because 986 01:12:29,320 --> 01:12:31,720 Speaker 1: I'm not I'm benevolent. I will give you a hint 987 01:12:32,280 --> 01:12:36,799 Speaker 1: and you try to guess who was squawking. So last 988 01:12:36,880 --> 01:12:43,040 Speaker 1: week's hint was this is a redhead with legs for days, 989 01:12:48,920 --> 01:12:54,680 Speaker 1: So bridget, can you guess who's making that sound? The 990 01:12:54,760 --> 01:12:59,760 Speaker 1: redhead is throwing me off? I'm gonna go it just 991 01:13:00,000 --> 01:13:03,360 Speaker 1: it was wrong. I'm I'm just clinging for anything because 992 01:13:03,400 --> 01:13:09,880 Speaker 1: I I dude, I'm stumped. Here is it? Is it 993 01:13:09,920 --> 01:13:14,519 Speaker 1: a hyena? It's a very interesting guess, very very definitely 994 01:13:14,520 --> 01:13:19,799 Speaker 1: not definitely not, But I'm gonna I mean it's because 995 01:13:20,160 --> 01:13:23,759 Speaker 1: famously it is a good guess. It's a fair guess. 996 01:13:24,120 --> 01:13:26,600 Speaker 1: Certain species of hyenas can be pretty leagy, so I 997 01:13:26,640 --> 01:13:29,559 Speaker 1: don't blame you for that, but this is, in fact 998 01:13:29,640 --> 01:13:34,960 Speaker 1: not a hyena. Congratulations to the three fastest guessers, Joey P. 999 01:13:35,560 --> 01:13:40,240 Speaker 1: Magnus Oh, and Joshua J who all correctly guess that 1000 01:13:40,320 --> 01:13:45,160 Speaker 1: this is the raw bark of a maimed wolf. So 1001 01:13:47,560 --> 01:13:51,400 Speaker 1: mained wolves are not actually wolves, and they are not 1002 01:13:51,600 --> 01:13:54,479 Speaker 1: giant foxes, even though they kind of look like a 1003 01:13:54,560 --> 01:14:01,200 Speaker 1: giant fox. Uh. They are wild canines related to dogs, foxes, 1004 01:14:01,280 --> 01:14:07,600 Speaker 1: and wolves, but only distantly. They are relatively ancient species 1005 01:14:07,680 --> 01:14:12,479 Speaker 1: of Canad, one of the only large South American canid 1006 01:14:12,520 --> 01:14:16,559 Speaker 1: species that survived the mass extinction of Mega fon around 1007 01:14:16,680 --> 01:14:22,160 Speaker 1: fifteen to thirteen thousand years ago. Ah, look of these guys. Yeah, 1008 01:14:22,200 --> 01:14:26,080 Speaker 1: I was gonna it's gonna go wolf for fox. Oh 1009 01:14:26,120 --> 01:14:30,360 Speaker 1: this is a pretty animal, very pretty. Yeah. No, I 1010 01:14:30,360 --> 01:14:32,880 Speaker 1: I reached for dog because I thought wolf. But they 1011 01:14:33,000 --> 01:14:35,320 Speaker 1: I thought of a different sound when I thought of wolf, 1012 01:14:35,320 --> 01:14:36,800 Speaker 1: and I should have thought of a different sound when 1013 01:14:36,800 --> 01:14:39,920 Speaker 1: I thought of ya. But but I mean, you were 1014 01:14:39,960 --> 01:14:42,960 Speaker 1: circling it, right, because it is it is confused. You 1015 01:14:43,000 --> 01:14:46,440 Speaker 1: were really circling around it because it is a confusing 1016 01:14:46,479 --> 01:14:49,880 Speaker 1: animal because it kind of looks like a wolf, kind 1017 01:14:49,880 --> 01:14:53,559 Speaker 1: of looks like a fox, has really long legs, actually 1018 01:14:53,560 --> 01:14:56,439 Speaker 1: has that kind of maine like a hyena does. Although 1019 01:14:56,479 --> 01:15:00,920 Speaker 1: a hyena is not that closely related to the nine species. 1020 01:15:01,360 --> 01:15:07,920 Speaker 1: Hyenas are actually more related to UH mongooses and uh felines. 1021 01:15:08,280 --> 01:15:13,760 Speaker 1: So the main wolf is really really interesting canad So 1022 01:15:13,920 --> 01:15:18,920 Speaker 1: it is omnivorous. Actually it eats both meat and vegetation 1023 01:15:19,439 --> 01:15:23,280 Speaker 1: and almost equal measures, so almost fifty fifty. It loves uh. 1024 01:15:23,280 --> 01:15:27,080 Speaker 1: It loves fruit, and it loves meat. They are particularly 1025 01:15:27,200 --> 01:15:31,120 Speaker 1: fond of a fruit known as the wolf apple or 1026 01:15:31,320 --> 01:15:37,160 Speaker 1: fruita do lobo in Portuguese. It is a flowering shrub 1027 01:15:37,320 --> 01:15:40,439 Speaker 1: with a green fruit with white, pulpy flesh that they 1028 01:15:40,520 --> 01:15:43,360 Speaker 1: just absolutely love. So I don't know if I'm that 1029 01:15:43,439 --> 01:15:47,559 Speaker 1: kind of cute that they're like they love their wolf apples. Yeah, 1030 01:15:47,800 --> 01:15:50,160 Speaker 1: I love that. I love that it's called a wolf apple. 1031 01:15:50,240 --> 01:15:52,760 Speaker 1: It's just like an apple just for them. Guess who 1032 01:15:52,760 --> 01:15:57,040 Speaker 1: else loves apples? Golden? I mean, that's that would be 1033 01:15:57,080 --> 01:16:00,000 Speaker 1: weird if I was just like, guess who else likes apples? 1034 01:16:00,240 --> 01:16:04,360 Speaker 1: Me love apples. The camels do love apples. I can 1035 01:16:04,400 --> 01:16:09,879 Speaker 1: see they know my dog. My dog loves apples. Cookie 1036 01:16:09,880 --> 01:16:13,120 Speaker 1: loves apples. She will come running when she here. And 1037 01:16:13,240 --> 01:16:15,519 Speaker 1: I do I like apples. I wouldn't say like I 1038 01:16:15,560 --> 01:16:18,280 Speaker 1: love them. I'm not crazy for them, but I like them. 1039 01:16:18,280 --> 01:16:20,720 Speaker 1: I'll eat them. And but when I do eat them, 1040 01:16:20,800 --> 01:16:24,559 Speaker 1: Cookie just gallops into the room and sits next to 1041 01:16:24,600 --> 01:16:26,880 Speaker 1: me and starts licking her lips because she knows she's 1042 01:16:26,920 --> 01:16:32,000 Speaker 1: about to get some little little bites applepy. That's cute. 1043 01:16:32,160 --> 01:16:34,839 Speaker 1: They're funny when they eat, when they eat crunchy foods. 1044 01:16:35,000 --> 01:16:40,240 Speaker 1: She loves. Yeah, she loves apples, bell peppers, cucumbers. It's 1045 01:16:40,320 --> 01:16:43,160 Speaker 1: it's pretty easy. Yeah. Yeah, she's kind of like one 1046 01:16:43,160 --> 01:16:48,639 Speaker 1: of these cucumbers. Yeah, dogs love cucumbers. That's our family dog. 1047 01:16:48,720 --> 01:16:51,240 Speaker 1: We we couldn't say no to treats for her, so 1048 01:16:51,280 --> 01:16:54,200 Speaker 1: we transitioned her to cucumbers that you love. Some love it. 1049 01:16:54,200 --> 01:16:59,760 Speaker 1: There's something about the crunchiness, the hydration. They love it. Yeah, 1050 01:17:00,160 --> 01:17:04,559 Speaker 1: give your dog a cucumber, dog, give it a cucumber. 1051 01:17:04,560 --> 01:17:09,240 Speaker 1: They'll be so happy. So yeah, these main wolves, I 1052 01:17:09,280 --> 01:17:12,400 Speaker 1: think they're one of the most gorgeous canaids in the world. 1053 01:17:12,400 --> 01:17:15,839 Speaker 1: They have these long legs that like have these black 1054 01:17:15,920 --> 01:17:18,280 Speaker 1: socks like they're wearing. It kind of gives me the 1055 01:17:18,400 --> 01:17:23,120 Speaker 1: vibe of like more tissue wearing those that long, long 1056 01:17:23,240 --> 01:17:29,240 Speaker 1: black gloves. Yeah.

They live mostly solitary lives. Uh. 1067 01:18:18,600 --> 01:18:22,320 Speaker 1: They use this roar bark to warn others of its 1068 01:18:22,439 --> 01:18:26,240 Speaker 1: territory or to communicate with a mate about where it is, 1069 01:18:26,280 --> 01:18:30,600 Speaker 1: where its location is uh.
