- W784842014 abstract "The ability of camels to walk and carry heavy loads for long distances in arid regions is well recognized. However, the metabolic requirement in walking and load carrying is unknown. The objective of this study was to measure the O2 used by man and camel walking side by side on a well-packed road. Three men (X̄ 80 kg) and six camels (X̄ 583 kg) were used. The camels were part of a feral herd which freely roams in the central Australian desert. The V̇o2 was measured while man and camel walked together, the camel setting the pace, without load and with a load amounting to 21%–34% of body weight. Resting V̇o2 of camels sitting quietly on the ground was 21% lower than values predicted from the mouse-to-elephant equation. Upon standing, V̇o2 increased 11%. The energy cost of walking at 67 m/min without a load was significantly greater in man than in camel. The energy cost of walking increased, although not statistically significantly, only 18% when camels carried an average load equal to 28% of their body weight. In conclusion, the camel's lower resting V̇o2 and cost of walking, and the associated economy in heat production and in food and water requirements, contribute to explaining its superior adapt-ability and support its epithet, ship of the desert." @default.
