Few people know humans have the greatest endurance of all land animals

[My_Friend]

Everyone knows the cheetah is the fastest land animal and the elephant is the strongest, but few people know humans have the greatest endurance. No other animal can run as long and as far as a human.

Long time ago the class "Paladin" was born and it had survived from many unfortunate and horrifying events. Among the paladins the rank of retribution was the most fearsome. The retribution paladin knows not fear they strike in to the heart of their enemy and deal complete destruction. But lately the balances of the pa...ladin order have been Brocken. The supreme power of the retribution has been mocked. The retribution paladin has become the lowest of the lowest rank. this was result of the jealousy and hatred from other ranks and classes. As been one of the few surviving hero class the paladins has been targeted. Not only the order was mocked the creators even further disgraced the order by giving the holy sacred power over to the horde. The end is near unless those ranks of holy and protection realize what is happening.

I can easily outrun my dog and I'm far from a great runner. Dogs are faster on short distances though.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persistence_hunting

Persistence hunting is a type of hunting where the hunter uses a combination of running and tracking to pursue the prey to exhaustion. Nowadays, it is very rare and seen only in a few groups such as Kalahari bushmen and the Tarahumara or Raramuri people of Northern Mexico. Persistence hunting requires endurance running – running many miles for extended periods of time. Among primates endurance running is only seen in humans, and persistence hunting is thought to have been one of the earliest forms of human hunting, having evolved 2 million years ago.


During the persistence hunt an antelope, such as a kudu, is not shot or speared from a distance, but simply run down in the midday heat. Depending on the specific conditions, hunters of the central Kalahari will chase a kudu for about two to five hours over 25 to 35 km (16 to 22 mi) in temperatures of about 40 to 42 ?C (104 to 108 ?F). The hunter chases the kudu, which then runs away out of sight. By tracking it down at a fast running pace the hunter catches up with it before it has had enough time to rest in the shade. The animal is repeatedly chased and tracked down until it is too exhausted to continue running. The hunter then kills it at close range with a spear.

Of course I just meant that some dogs can. I'm not talking dachsunds. I'm talking dogs in the wild. Coyotes, wolves, and other breeds. They can just lope along as fast as humans run, and do it all day.

Dogs over heat and NEED rest. Even at a slow pace. Their hearts and spines adapted to hunt. Like HIIT. No way a dog can keep pace with a man running a marathon or ultra marathon.

Horse, Camel, Fail thread.

[UrbanNomad]

This. Humans are much better at keeping themselves cool because we don't have fur and walk upright so we catch less sunlight.

"To give you an idea however, distance running for a Siberian is not only good for them - it's what they were bred for. Siberians run in the Iditarod, a race of 1100+ miles that is run in just over 9 days. Do the math and the team of 16 dogs is running about 120 miles a day."

[GrizzlyMan27]

thats just because animals choose not too, why would an animal want to run 50 miles like humas do for fun. Fail thread is fail

[gswarrior510]

it's true

[Hand_Of_Thor]

Wrong there are other animals that have more endurance then us. We might be able to run like 100km or so faster then some animals but eventually we will slow and tire and those animals would over take us easily.

mexicans run 100 miles a day, and wernt "bred" for that

[Sounds Good]

not likely. that would mean they run for about 80%+ of their day

[Achilles87]

wolves

[PBateman]

wolves

Dogs can.

Our lack of body hair and ability to sweat, among other things, wins the race. It's hard to comprehend in a sedentary world.

I think it's more like 50mi, and not everyday. I've read the article, though. It's true.
