Fun fact: that detail about how horses can be scared by the smell of camels was something that the ancient Persians made use of to disrupt enemy cavalry in the battle of Thymbra.
In Australia, we imported camels for navigating the outback, then we released them into the wild, now there's a million of them and now we export live camels and camel meat (along with sand actually) to Saudi Arabia.
I never would have thought camels were so amazing. Twice the lifespan of a horse, thrice the carrying capacity of a mule, and way better equipped than either to traverse basically any terrain.
Both camels and horses originally evolved in North America then left and died out in NA before being reintroduced. PBS Eons has great episodes on both.

I remember reading the book, many moons ago. Apparently the camels were quite happy about their corral, made of prickly pear. As I understand it there are still wild herds of camels in Australia, originally brought in for much the same purpose.

This is a great story and I’ve never heard it before. There isn’t many UA-cam history stories I’ve never heard of before but this is one of them. Thank you sir.
I've never seen your laugh, despite so many of your videos being hilarious, you've always managed to maintain your "serious man" character... So this literally made me LOL. You could say it was the straw that broke the camel's toe...
Knowing Better camels were originally from North America between 3 and 5 million years ago they crossed the Bering land bridge into Eurasia. In fact the horse was also from North America it also crossed the Bering land bridge but both eventually when extinct in North America while their descendants continue to thrive in the old world. And another branch of the camel family developed into the modern llama and alpaca in South America. So Camelops aren’t really foreign to America.
Thank you for continuing to put out interesting, measured, and entertaining vids. My husband and I agree that you are a great addition to our UA-cam viewing. Never knew camels were used this way in history.
Hey, fellow vet here. I was PA, so I spent a lot of time outside of culturally-similar company in Kuwait and Iraq. The actual origin of "haji" as a pejorative doesn't have anything to do with Johny Quest or even westerners. In Kuwait in particular, where the third-county nationals who weren't European lived in conditions like they were back in the third world, the Kuwaitis called those migrant workers "hajis" as a kind of tongue-in-cheek insult. By people from the middle east, I've heard it applied to refuges, people from other areas or districts, and so forth. It basically in the approximate tier of that particularly distasteful word referring to the dampness of someone's back. Same kind of stuff came up in Iraq, and I gathered the term was pretty ubiquitous around the middle east. Western troops expanded on the usage and meaning, but we originally borrowed the use of it as an insult from the locals. Nothing like a good cultural discussion with someone from Kuwait or Iraq to make you realize Americans are absolute amateurs even at our most racist.
Ever since I've watch the mummy, I've wanted to ride a camel. They seem so cool and chill. They seem like they don't complain but are just up for anything you ask of them.
Horses have a sprinting speed of 45 mph, and a sustained speed of 30-35 mph. Also, horses are not really foreign to North America. The same species of horse we have today (Equus ferus) was the one that died out some 10,000 years ago at the end of the last Ice Age. Horses were reintroduced here.
I’ve watched your videos, old and new. They are all good! Really good! Haven’t watched a single KB I didn’t like, regardless of “production value”. Some of the older videos have a nostalgic sense to them 😎
Great video like always, but I'm wondering if you're ever gonna make a "Modetate's guide to the Military Industrial Complex" I think you would do the topic justice, keep up the fantastic work!
Through irony or coincidence, I've now lived at both ends of the US Camel Corps' history. Was born in Arizona, where Hi Jolly, a Turkish man hired by the Army to assist in their camel experiment, later retired and the corps disbanded. I now live about 15 minutes from what was Indianola. To my knowledge, there is no historical commemoration to them in Calhoun County, TX, but there is a monument to Hi Jolly and the Camel Corps by his grave in Quartzite, AZ.
I'm a bit surprised that camels didn't establish themselves as a feral species as they did to this day in Australia. Interestingly, many were used to build the rail line from Adelaide to Alice Srpings, which runs a passenger service called "the Ghan" in reference to Afghan camel herders that served a role similar to the advisors did in the US. Ironically these wild camels are often seen from the mentioned train, which undermined their use as pack animals in South Australia.
There probably just wasn't enough of them. I imagine a decent population would have no trouble settling the area. But it sounds like only a few dozen were set lose. Some might have been too old or maybe a lot were male with only a few females. Who knows.
I don't really see how it was a failure in any way. That's like saying fire bombings were a failure because nukes came around a few years later. Being very successful for a very short time is still a success. Better investment than half a tank at any rate.
floooooooooooooooood Also the knowledge gained through the doing of it all is a huge success. Success seems to be awfully narrowly defined by any single person or group. Would be healthy for perspectives to be broadened.
Designed by the British War Office in 1940, it was designed to distract German bomb raids on British soil. The idea was quickly scrapped homever as the Luftwaffe lost it's grip over the British Isles.
Shout out @ChubbyEmu and the awesome voice over work. Thanks for taking time out of your busy schedule. I was so confused when I first heard the voice, I knew it was familiar but couldn't place it until the second time.
So you’re saying the fun retirement isn’t in Emu farming it’s in Dromedary and/or Camel farming? Deal. I want to be responsible for American camel breeds roaming the Arizona desert.
Actually, horses and donkeys evolved in America, and moved over during the ice ages, multiple times trading species across the Bearing Landbridge until donkeys and zebras took firm hold in the old world, after which ponies evolved in both places before North American stock mostly took over in the central China steppes and moved outwards from there. Before agriculture took off here, they were both ecologically pressured and hunted out of the Americas, like the megasloth, the mammoths (grass grazers) and mastadons (forest grazers). Neolithic sites have many equine bones in them next to mastadons. You know what else was native to America? 3 seperate camel species. Who later speciated into those 3 camel species you said. The Llamas stayed in South America.
The South American version of the camel is the llama, which I believe has been commercialized successfully in Colorado as a pack animal for sporting purposes. Not as ornery as camels, and seemingly more appropriate in mountains.
I feel it necessary to point out that both horses and the entire dromedary family evolved in North America. They either left over the bering land bridge, were hunted to extinction, or in the case of the Llama/alpaca, moved to South America. Love the channel, bro, even if you are an army puke instead of a proper squid.
@@vit968 should people deface the graves of US soldiers abroad if they see those soldiers as "cowardly ruthless invaders, who killed to sate their country's greed" ? I'd genuinely like to know your stance on that.

15:30 horses are actually endemic to what is now the Great Plains, but they crossed over to East and Central Asia around the time of the last Ice Age. Like humans did, but in reverse.
OOOOOOooooOo I instantly clicked on this like it was going to be deleted idk why. But thank you for doing this topic I’ve always enjoyed reading and learning about this topic
🤣 I read that as “polish” meaning the verb, to make something shiny, not as “Polish” the adjective meaning someone or something from Poland, so I was trying to figure out what about the army was shiny. When I got to the last word I was able to work backwards and figure it out... (not trying to be insulting, I was simply amused at my own mis-understanding)
Proto Camels evolved in America They took the same path out of America that humans took into it, across the Bering Strait, evolved some more, the camels left behind died off leaving their llama and alpaca cousins. So camels are actually far less foreign to America then the horse, which didn't set foot in America until after the Colombian Exchange
@@AlteryxGaming that is not true - horses did not exist in America from the 10.000 bCE to the 1500 CE. Please, do not oversimplify. Unless you were joking, in which case _whoosh_ for me.
jotabeas22 Horses evolved over the past ~50 million years, in North America. They died out on this continent 10,000 years ago, when the land bridge connected North America with Eurasia. So no, I am not joking. Horses started in the New World.
@@AlteryxGaming alright, oversimplify as you may, but the horse is a domesticated animal from the 8000bCE, take it or leave it 2000 years. A giraffe is not a camel - a horse ancestor is not a horse. In fact I'll say more - in current-day Kazajstan the first actual equus ferus caballus appeared on 3600 bCE. So... No, it's plain wrong.
Growing up in Arkansas, my mother and aunt used to take shopping excursions to Fort Smith, which was 80 miles away from where we lived in Russellville (if you lived there, you'd want to get out too). On one such trip, they dragged us kids along and, while my mom and aunt saw another picture, we got tickets to see Hawmps, which we greatly enjoyed (Hey, I was about 13 or 14... everything is funny at that age). So, we literally watched that movie in the town that became one end of the extension of Beale's experiment (a fact that I didn't know until this video). So that's... kind of cool... and now, I know better.
Anyone else remember an 1960’s tv episode on some series where there was something terrorizing a desert community and it turned out to be a stray camel from the Army?
I think you should tell us what u are doing next time to get people hyped up because it's always a (pleasant) surprise when you upload but I'm never actively looking forward to it even though I find your videos very entertaining and interesting just something to consider
What a fun history I didn't know about! I knew about camels getting imported to Austrailia and then being let lose and are now invasive. Also fun is that north America has those animals before: camelops, and horses evolved in north America (see eohippus, mesohippus, dinohippus. I remember pbs eons doing an episode on the horse i don't remember about camel. Imma go look now.)
I always wondered why we didn't get feral camels in the USA as it happened in Australia. Probably the initial population was too little compared to the Australian one

The only downside is the attitude. Quick reminder: they're in the same family as Llamas.

Don't worry about it, I'm told I'm white but I can clearly see I'm kaki.
An Italian playing a Greek guy, oh the horror.
Depends on how South you go...

@@appleslover who pissed in your lemonade?
Growing up in Arkansas, my mother and aunt used to take shopping excursions to Fort Smith, which was 80 miles away from where we lived in Russellville (if you lived there, you'd want to get out too). On one such trip, they dragged us kids along and, while my mom and aunt saw another picture, we got tickets to see Hawmps, which we greatly enjoyed (Hey, I was about 13 or 14... everything is funny at that age). So, we literally watched that movie in the town that became one end of the extension of Beale's experiment (a fact that I didn't know until this video). So that's... kind of cool... and now, I know better.
Anyone else remember an 1960’s tv episode on some series where there was something terrorizing a desert community and it turned out to be a stray camel from the Army?
Hawmps!
@3:46 WHOA Whoa whoa, you're telling me METAL SLUG WAS REAL!!!!
I always read crops not corps xP.
Nice video by the way the current design is very nice
My problem is thinking camel corpse, just rotting in the desert.
@@JMM33RanMA For historical reasons corps has a silent P as well as S. These are rare.
@@rparl Yes, I know, I was an English teacher. It was a joke.
Very glad I discovered your channel! Great information.
I think you should tell us what u are doing next time to get people hyped up because it's always a (pleasant) surprise when you upload but I'm never actively looking forward to it even though I find your videos very entertaining and interesting just something to consider
This channel is F'ing Amazing!
I'm dissapointed with UA-cam for not recommending your channel to me sooner...
Intresting fact the French brought a band of saharan nomads and their camels to france durimg the early 20th century
Google Tauregs in Paris
... where they immediately surrendered.
What a fun history I didn't know about! I knew about camels getting imported to Austrailia and then being let lose and are now invasive. Also fun is that north America has those animals before: camelops, and horses evolved in north America (see eohippus, mesohippus, dinohippus. I remember pbs eons doing an episode on the horse i don't remember about camel. Imma go look now.)
love these vids oh yeah yeah
oh yeet yeet
Ой да да
NO
I always wondered why we didn't get feral camels in the USA as it happened in Australia. Probably the initial population was too little compared to the Australian one
Nice video 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I love your videos. What branch of the military were you in? I'm in the Marine Corps right now and I dig your videos!
But who scouts out the camels?
Hmm
Hmm
