waterproof coat

are we still talking about dogs?

I don't think any fur is waterproof. Although kinky hair doesn't absorb water as well as straight hair.

[–]srd178 14 points15 points ago

[–]DCBizzle 3 points4 points ago

[–]mrfrostybrew 3 points4 points ago

otter fur

[–]Doctor-Why 0 points1 point ago

Careful grooming with the forepaws keeps the fur waterproof. Oil spills cause the fur to lose its waterproof quality, causing the sea otter to get hypothermia, usually killing it.

Not immune to oil spills. Wouldn't skin and wear.

      [–]N8CCRG 4 points5 points ago

      Using more legs is actually less efficient. So it's harder for a dog than a person. Or, more accurately, there are tribes in Africa who hunt deer/antelope/something like that by chasing it until it collapses from exhaustion.

      Edit: First reference I found: http://curiosity.discovery.com/question/two-leg-walking-energy-efficient

      [–]MinimalisticGlutton 6 points7 points ago

      Not trying to disprove your statement, but (fun fact) I believe that what makes humans and a few other mammals special is that we can sweat to stop from overheating while running while many other mammals cannot (someone confirm this wording). So while many humans can not beat animals in a short distance race, we can keep running them down until they are too exhausted from "overheating" so to speak.

      [–]rawdoggingisawesome 4 points5 points ago

      [–]drfrisker 1 point2 points ago

      dogs pant not sweat though

      [–]djkaty 1 point2 points ago

      They sweat through the pads of their feet, but that's the only location.

      [–]lovelemurs 0 points1 point ago

      We lose more water than them because we sweat.

      [–]elkuhn 0 points1 point ago

      Actually, many mammals sweat. That said, what you were talking about isn't wrong, either. Primates are more efficient than other mammals, as primates are the only ones with sweat glands on their entire body.

      [–]maninthemass 0 points1 point ago

      "we" in this context are humans who aren't weakened by sitting around all day. Its likely that most people in the civilizated world aren't able to hunt down other animals. I mean, there are many people who can't even run 5 km.

        Isn't that more about Endurance than efficiency though? Most of the animals we hunt are sprinters, whereas humans, wolves (and of course dogs,) are marathon runners. So it's not that having four legs is inefficient, I would think.

        [–]lovelemurs 0 points1 point ago

        4 legs is less efficient than 2. But you're right about the sprinters thing.

          That's not only tribes in Africa, that was nearly every human before agriculture. Even with long range weapons we still ended up chasing nearly everything until it just couldn't run anymore.

          [–]seanious 1 point2 points ago

          Oh yea, how many generations were your ancestors bred for the purpose of hauling that sled? ftfy

          [–]Dtmrm2 0 points1 point ago

          He may have used twice as many legs, but he/she pulled a sled, so that makes it unmeasurably more difficult, since the human had no sled what so ever... Weight the human pulled=0 weight the dog pulled >0...

          [–]Ikimasen 96 points97 points ago

          Apparently sled dogs are one of the few animals that can match humans in distance running, and that's most definitely only when they're in a freezing environment. Mostly dogs can't keep up with us for long.

          [–][deleted] 90 points91 points ago

          Conversely, I think if I ran in the same temps as a sled dog my lungs would shatter.

          Agreed but like 40 degrees feels good on the lungs

          [–]acespace 1 point2 points ago

          I also rather run in the cold, I just need a method of heating up air for me to breathe so my lungs don't shatter.

          Anyone have any advice?

          [–]lovelemurs 2 points3 points ago

          Strap a hot water bottle to your face.

          Seriously though, this is a bad problem. I can't run in the cold because it just hurts too damn much.

          Being someone who has just started working out I take the macho approach when my body says I'm not meant to do this, 'fuck you, get used to it'.

          Then after 15 minutes of jogging I break down and cough like crazy :-/

          I've checked and know it's not going to do any actual damage to my body, it's just discomfort.

          [–]arpse 2 points3 points ago

          Uh, swimmer checking in. At five thirty in the morning on a Saturday during winter break one does not simply "get used to it."

          [–]anatheistandajew 1 point2 points ago

          The ideal running temp is somewhere in the high 30's to low 40's if I remember right.

          [–]Forlarren 6 points7 points ago

          Once you acclimate nothing is better than a cold run.

            Oh god. I remember one time at the end of a cross country season, we all decided to get up one morning at like 5 am before school and run a mile as fast as we could on the school track.

            I had to drop out after a half mile because it was too cold to breath. Feels bad, man.

              Naaa. I have relatives in north of Sweden and I've been outside in temperatures well beneath -30C ( Don't actually know how cold it was, the thermometer didn't measure lower ). Your lungs won't have a problem, all the blood passing through them heats them a lot. Your eyes however... You need goggles if you plan to look into the wind or your tears will start to freeze. Also, if you breath in too quickly through your nose, your snot will freeze. Any exposed skin will get little ice-crystals sticking to your body hair, and you get ice taps forming in your eyelashes, which may freeze together if you close them for too long.

              It's actually not as bad as I make it sound, and you can totally do sports at those temperatures ( skiing as an example ). If anything moving around helps keep you warm.

              [–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

              Haha, true. I used to run track so I'm eternally stuck with the notion that to go running, one must wear short shorts and a single layer tank top.

              Check out Geoff Roes. I can't find the post right now, but wrote up an awesome foot race report from a couple of hundred miles in Alaska.

              [–]pikindaguy 17 points18 points ago

              Yup, the human's main advantage is our ability to sweat to cool down...dogs can only pant but that's not nearly as efficient.

              [–]jturgeon228 2 points3 points ago

              Humans also can plan ahead and pace ourselves. Other animals are like "oh fuck it's chasing me: RUN RUN RUN!"... Death by exhaustion.

              [–]mrmurraybrown 0 points1 point ago

              beyond that they can't pant above a certain cadence.

              [–]ophanim 34 points35 points ago

              As I understand it, most animals can't match us in distance running period. We can essentially run down almost anything if we can track it.

              [–]Ikimasen 7 points8 points ago

              Yeah, what I read in another thread was sled dogs actually in the arctic are better than us, kangaroos are similar to us but still not as good, and I think the jury's out on horses.

              [–]Fhajad 5 points6 points ago

              If a horse tried to run as long as human, the horse would die from exhaustion.

              Humans have endurance over any other animal.

              [–]PBCookie 19 points20 points ago

              This only applies to trained humans that don't lead a sedentary lifestyle. Like hell can anyone except the small majority outrun a horse.

              [–]EtherGnat 26 points27 points ago

              It's not like we evolved to be sedentary. Horses would be crappy runners if they sat around in their underwear all day watching Jerry Springer and eating Cheetos.

              [–]danyim 0 points1 point ago

              Just thinking about that made me chuckle....because horses would totally eat Cheetos. They're like deep-fried carrots.

              [–]Keyserchief 3 points4 points ago

              That being said, a larger number could outwalk a horse. Horses get frightened if you walk behind them, and eventually the horse would drop dead from exhaustion while the human was still going.

              [–]PBCookie 0 points1 point ago

              I don't know, I see a lot of people breathless after walking around the block. I think you underestimate just how out of shape a lot of people are.

              Not nowadays, but not too long ago the majority of humans were all in excellent shape compared to now. Our current population is a horrible sample to assess our physique from.

              However if you take a "regular" untrained dog with a human that lives in the modern lifestyle we have, the dog (other than the toy breeds) would absolutely dominate due to their ability to run more than 100m without a break.

              [–]crazy1000 0 points1 point ago

              I would hope humans could run that far without a break too. That's not far at all. Edit: unless you meant miles. Though I think he meant a dog that didn't get enough exercise, just like most humans.

                  Much more child friendly, in the sense of letting parents near their kids; my uncle's husky always planted itself between me and everyone else, growling at anyone who tried to get near "his" kid.

                  Apparently, that dog only ever listened to my uncle, my grandfather, and me. The former two only begrudgingly.

                  [–]BigBadMrBitches 1 point2 points ago

                  So more parent freindly?

                  [–]EatSleepJeep 0 points1 point ago

                  Opposite. The only person my husky chews on is me. She wouldn't think of being rough with anyone else.

                    Actually, dog sled racing has nothing to do with how much weight they pull, each dog usually pulls about 10-25 pounds. The whole point of the dog sled race is ENDURANCE

                      Well, actually, it doesn't really take that much force to pull a dog sled, that's why sled dogs aren't bred to be strong or muscular, and more for endurance and speed. I saw this on the Iditarod shows on Discovery channel a few years back, I don't have a source for you guys right now though.

                      We have two Siberian Huskies that run with us on weekends when we train for our 1/2 marathons. Our older one, 7, slows down around 10 miles and we won't be able to train with him much longer. The other one, goes with us the full 13.

                      They LOVE to pull and be outside.

                      It turns out that there are some lunatics who actually run the entire 1,049 mile iditarod trail race solo. Without a dog team. Towing their own sled thats tied to their back.

                      Marshall Ulrich from Colorado has done 120 mile races, with a sled on wheels containing supplies: "Arguably most famous for his exploits in the Badwater Ultramarathon across Death Valley, Ulrich has finished the race 17 times and crossed Death Valley a record 23 times, including a 586-mile 'Badwater Quad,' covering the course four times (twice up and back), and a self-contained, unaided solo, in which he pulled all supplies (food, ice, medical) in a cart that weighed more than 200 pounds at the start. He won the Badwater 146-mile race from minus 282 feet to the 14,494-foot summit of Mount Whitney an unprecedented 4 times—and still holds the record to the summit." How do you like that dog?
