Or that they have a top speed of 40 mph in short bursts, with a sustainable speed of around 25 mph? Considering their low fuel needs, it's something to consider in the midst of an energy crisis.

That's...insane Chocked_2 That's like, the average speed of a car going down the road fast enough to kill someone.

As long as camels don't start killing things because they hate the world, then I'm fine with the fact they are fast as hell.

They have also been used militarily, as they are nearly as good a mount as a horse, and they terrify horses, which works well to intimidate opponent's steeds. The US had an active Camel Corps in the 19th century, stationed in California, and at one point in the US Civil War, camels were employed as mounts, but later abandoned as a tactic, as they were disliked by the soldiers.

Speaking of crazy military vehicle ideas, did you know that the US Dept. of Defense at one time considered using skateboards for transport in urban combat scenarios? Link: http://www.defensetech.org/archives/002321.html

So many haters. D=

Camels are awesome, I never knew they intimidated horses. I'm surprised they weren't used in more wars. Maybe they were but I didn't hear about it... =O

Screw getting a car, I'm getting a camel. Wait, is that even legal? What do they eat? o.O

Typically varied greens. They also have phenomenal immune systems and are well noted for their ability to go long periods of time without water (contrary to belief, water is not stored in the hump(s), which mainly consist of fat deposits).

I don't give a damn what the thread was originally about. It's the camel factoid thread now. Ethiopians consider camel milk an aphrodisiac.

Not to mention that they have uber long eyelashes lol. I heard that's to keep the sand out of their eyes or something? Wow, I never really realised how badass camels are.

Camels? CHOCOBOS OSTRICHES are where it's at! They can run fast AND lay massive eggs! Can camels do that? I THINK NOT

LOL

But camels can spit in your face a lot better, and I'm pretty sure that without water that ostritch would die quite quickly. Dodos seemed cooler tbh. You just can't tell me this doesn't look awesome.

I second that notion.

Ostriches are uber mean though, Pikachao, do not underestimate them. they'll take your eyes out.

If the dodo was so badass, it wouldn't have gone extinct, would it? Camels can vomit out their stomaches at you! They literally flip it inside out and cough it up, showering you in stomach acid. carp awesome.

Holy crap, that's awesome, not to mention it would be PAINFUL! Pinching_grin

The dodo was badass, it's just that very few people hunt and eat camels if I'm correct.
