Is there a reason why you wrote dog's, instead of dogs, but not doggos? I can understand foreign people not knowing your and you're, but basic plurals? Dog's? Sorry, but I am beyond triggered.
I'm not sure why the video fails to mention climate, but that is the singular reason why Huskies can outrun humans. Available energy isn't the major factor that limits animals from running long distances - it's the inability to regulate their body temperature that does. Our ability to sweat across our large hairless surface area makes humans the most versatile long distance runners on the planet. Try and make a Husky run a few miles in 80 degree temperatures and see how that works out. They're poorly suited to running anywhere but cold climates.
Wil Finley its not the sole reason though. For instance, a pig can also sweat and is hairless, yet the still can't outrun us because the use more energy than they can restore.
Masonic Bonsai - only domestic pigs loose their hair and all pigs have very few sweat glands. As far as I am aware humans are the only extant species that is covered from head to toe in sweat glands. That's why we rock so hard at temperature regulation. Chasing mammals on the plains until they collapsed from exhaustion was probably one of our ancestor's more successful hunting strategies in the distant past.
Four legs is actually pretty bad for running long distances. Ostriches are the best runners in terms of energy conservation since their legs are basically pogo sticks. They can also run for more than an hour at top speed of 70 kmph. But even them could be outrun if the chase lasted two month like for exemple the Trans Europe Foot Race (64 days of running an average of 80 km per day). I'm not sure who would win in a yearly span between a sled dog in cold weather and a highly trained ultra runner but that would be an interesting race.
medalf the sled dog would just win. The fact that he can run on glycogen all the time (or doesn't need it) just makes him so much better. A very gig advantage of humans is that we have two legs instead of 4 ( still better) and , most importantly, can sweat. But sweat isn't needed in cold climates and in days long race glycogen just outclasses 2 legs
Maybe when we start to genetically engineer humans we can give them sled dog metabolisms, naked mole rat anti-aging/anti-cancer repair mechanisms, and gorilla strength. Humans would never become exhausted, would be able to lift a couple times their own body weight, and would live for hundreds or thousands of years.
Ofcourse. In hotter climates like the Africa and south asia severs ( where I'm playing currently) the human classes overpowered ability to sweat will win them a long distance race.

@@steirqwe7956 Ok but if you ran the race in conditions where a dog team can't run efficiently a camel would probably win, Also, there is very few animals in the world that can take part in a 1,000 mile race. Being domesticated is a prerequisite. A wildebeest might do it faster, but a there is no way to test how fast a wildebeest can travel 10k because it's a wild animal. So you are really only competing vs domesticated animals like dogs and horses and humans come 2nd when they get to set the race distance and environment that suit them best. So it is a very misleading claim imo.
@Chris Russell Huskies can adapt to warmer climates. They are Siberian dogs, used to continental climates that get drastic climatic changes, including short, hot summers. And while Huskies are working dogs and need exercise, not only physical, but mental, they are also very social animals (the Chukchi tribe that originally bred them had the dogs watch their children) and make great family dogs if you can provide enough exercise, because of their naturally friendly and patient demeanor. So no, having a Husky as a family dog in a warmer climate isn't animal cruelty.
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. This is a question I was asking myself last week and I initially thought humans were the best long distance runners until I thought of the Iditarod sled dogs and thought "there's no way we can compete with that!". I think if you put those dogs anywhere other than a freezing environment we humans then come out on top...we're good at expelling heat. Thanks again!
considering when we use the term evolution we generally refer to natural selection then the original poster statement is wrong. This was achieved by artificial selection not natural one. Also fitness is a bit of a tricky concept. There dogs are extremely good at long distance running. Which is useful to be sure for survival. But the extreme ability to run these distance can not be achieve in nature as humans need to provide the fat and protean for the dogs to continue to run. They would not be able to acquire the amount needed on there own in nature. So in the end they would not really have that much advantage compared to wolves. It may actually be a disadvantage in nature as the dogs could maybe run out of there fuel reserves without knowing it. While regular wolves would have that glucose fatigue kick in before they overextend there fuel supplies. (If we use the wider definition of the term evolution then it correct. As Evolution in a more general sense just means change.)
I don't know. While sled dogs do have incredible endurance and seemingly do not tire in their work, to my knowledge, they can and do get tired. Some are even said to collapse or even die from exhaustion.
yeah, of course they get tired. :) I was riding with dogs that had been running much of the day from 8am to 1am, and in the last hour, we took like 3 breaks to rest the dogs. This video could still be mostly true as far as I know though.
They do get tired yes, but they take breaks. As someone who follows sled dog races(I have a couple friends who run in them) one thing that isn’t publicized much is the amount of breaks they take. There’s a pit stop every 25-50 miles on the longer races where the dogs can stop and take a break. For up to twelve hours. And yes sometimes some dogs are just too weak to keep going, I even had it happen to a friend of mine, but then all they do is put the tired pup in their sled until the next checkpoint and then send it home and call in a new one. And lastly, it’s hard to describe to someone who hasn’t ridden on a dog sled how much the dogs enjoy running. They were literally bread for it and it’s the greatest thing to them.
@@coltonsmith5997 yea they can't wait to run, and when you go visit some place where they do dog sled tours you can see all the dogs that are waiting and crying and howling and jealous trying to tell people to let them run.

I feel that this only applies to cold regions though, where a dog’s need to shed heat is easily handled by the cold climate. In a hot climate, I bet humans can still out endure dogs due to our ability to sweat all over our bodies.
Actually, humans can do the same thing if they walk. It is in fact the best (realistically the only) way of loosing fat. If your goal is to loose fat, don't do 1h of HIIT every morning and every evening, you're just using up the sugar stored in your blood, liver and pancreas. Those reserves need to be completely depleted before you start using up fat tissues (Usually after around 90 min of intense exercise). Want to know the "one secret that will make you loose fat permanently" ? Walk. When you perform really low intensity exercise, your body taps into your fat tissues to get energy rather than the sugar storage. I think this is because it wants to maintain sugar in case you need to run (if a predator shows up and you need to run away), but would have to check. Point is, low intensity exercise makes you loose fat. Want to loose fat ? Forget 1h high intensity Spinning class in hot tents, you're just depleting sugar reserves and sweating water, go for a walk ! Don't walk too fast, remember: low intensity !
jackie jackie not in a climate not suited for dog sled runners. Bring a dog sledder to the tropics it will not out perform a human, since it cannot control its internal temperature with relation to its new tropical high humdity surroundings.
I was litterally reading through comments wondering if anyone else was going to mention that. Title asks the question, Video: well, we do know why they dont get tired, but we dont actually know *why* they dont. 🤔🤨
Well... We do know why, we just don't understand _how_ They don't ever get tired because they don't need glycogen to sustain their muscles. How their bodies manage that is not well understood.
@@marcushendriksen8415 No, humans are the more cooperative species, even ahead of elephants. We cooperate in a high level involving people from different groups not closely related to us all the time. We help other species too (as Elephants do) all the time an on a scale that has nothing similar in the rest of the animal kingdom. We help predators all the time, like tigers. Humans build pyramids via cooperation 1000s of years ago, and we survive and thrive even if we are fragile. Cooperation did that.
When it matters the most and we come together our cooperation score is a 5. But those are rare. Go watch something about the manufacturing feats the USA accomplished during WW2 for instance. Simply amazing
Wow! I knew a family that had a sled dog team, but I knew nothing about how they burned energy, and how well adapted they really were to sled racing. Not to mention I had no idea that humans were able to be such good long distance runners as well.
well while i agree that humans are particularly great distance runners, it’s not very fair that we compare our absolute best versus a random animal. for example many people say we’re better than horses at the marathon because eli kipchoge can run it faster than the average horse. but what about the BEST distance horse, given a lifetime of distance training, good diet, and top facilities. i’m not really sure who would win then...
Ain’t horses pretty high on the list when it comes to stamina... I always thought that was a beautiful thing, that the only two animals that could keep up with human endurance was canines and equine. And that being a major factor as to why hoses, dogs and people adapted so close to work with each other for survival
Just remember these dogs can only run in the cold because if you’d put them in the heat they don’t sweat like humans, so humans are still the fastest in hot weather
Mike Hawk maybe over time through some CRISPR stuff we can make it so they have more efficient sweating (they can currently sweat from their toe beans) and then they will have the most stamina on land and following the same logic maybe even water
I mean, a sled dog running in a warmer area is like *us* running in a warmer area with winter clothes on. Of course an animal isn't great in an area it isn't supposed to be in..
I highly doubt humans have more stamina than ANY other land mammal other than sled dogs. What about wolves? They "jog" for miles and miles everyday and almost never slow their pace.
Humans in peak fitness condition, or the way most adult hunter-gatherer humans (especially in flatland areas) are. Most modern, sedentary humans couldn't hold a candle to a poodle.
Not many people can hold a candle to a poodle anyways, because people forget that standard poodles were bred to be hunting dogs and are actually very strong and agile if conditioned properly, lol. The reason why huskies would be better distance runners than wolves is because of our artificial selection for the fastest/longest runners. We've bred them so that not only are they perfectly designed for running, but they LOVE to run. A racing line husky relishes running more than any other activity, so much that if you put them on a dog powered treadmill, they will run themselves into exhaustion if the humans don't regulate their run time. Sadly, many pet line and show line huskies have had these traits dimmed down or bred out entirely to make them better pets, because racing line huskies are so manic and full of energy that most people can't handle them. If not allowed to run, they get anxious, neurotic, and destructive, and so make poor house dogs. This is why, when organizations like PETA and others, which are super anti dog sport(despite the fact that dogs LOVE doing their sports) shut down sled races and rides, many of these dogs are left homeless, and end up being put to sleep in absence of the job they were born to do and love.
I had a husky growing up as a kid and a couple times she ran out the back door and escaped. We were probably like 10 or 12 years old but we just chased her around the neighborhood all afternoon until she slowed down or laid down and we would eventually catch her. Huskies will get overheated eventually, at least mine did and the ones my aunt had did (she worked with race dogs). Human children on the other hand seem to have an infinitely deep well of energy along with a strong need to run circles around the kitchen table. (Granted, climate seems to make a big difference, this was in U.S. during spring/summer.)
Aw maybe you could look into getting a dog if you have the resources to care for it, even if it's not a husky I think it'll still do a great job of brightening your life up.
I'm curious as to whether or not those sled dogs would beat a human in a marathon run in 20°C or 25°C weather though. I'm pretty sure one of the reasons humans are able to outlast most animals in endurance running has more to do with heat dissipation through sweat than metabolic mechanics.
@@theshermantanker7043 not really , they just kept enough stamina to be able to catch up to wounded preays that can barely run and walk and that are basically already dead because there is no hospital in the wild.. Humans never had to win a fair contest of stamina against other species, ever..
I don't know if its true, but I once heard that these dogs run faster when its minus 50 degrees celsius then when its "just" minus 10 degrees celsius. The cold weather actually helps them to not overheat for with that fur they have, they could overheat if they would run full out if it is "just" minus 10 degrees
There were 2 red wolves that were wearing tracking collars and they ran for 2 weeks straight. Also during famine, wolves in the far north are known to chase lone caribou for days straight.
I have a theory about the glycogen conservation. It's possible that after getting the fat and protein started, they re-route a small amount of it through a valve to do the job that the glycogen normally does in all other mammals. Using this theory, it can also help identify why recent racers do better. Their metabolisms just takes time to shut the valve, and having a pre-running gas is faster than taking time to switch it on. It's a similar concept as getaway drivers during robberies or carpooling. it simply saves time to hop in and go rather than taking tie to put in the keys, change gear, and start driving after.
I could have told you this after chasing my husky around the neighborhood for the 15th time. I am in excellent shape now.

In a hot climate, I bet humans can still out endure dogs due to our ability to sweat all over our bodies.

VERY fast doggo running at incredible hihg speed
Tooo Mushhh !!!
Cracked me up.
Aliens: You can run for *how* long?
Humans: Oh, that’s nothing..
Humans: *holds up sled dogs*
Aliens:
Actually, humans can do the same thing if they walk. It is in fact the best (realistically the only) way of loosing fat.
If your goal is to loose fat, don't do 1h of HIIT every morning and every evening, you're just using up the sugar stored in your blood, liver and pancreas.
Those reserves need to be completely depleted before you start using up fat tissues (Usually after around 90 min of intense exercise).
Want to know the "one secret that will make you loose fat permanently" ?
Walk.
When you perform really low intensity exercise, your body taps into your fat tissues to get energy rather than the sugar storage. I think this is because it wants to maintain sugar in case you need to run (if a predator shows up and you need to run away), but would have to check.
Point is, low intensity exercise makes you loose fat. Want to loose fat ? Forget 1h high intensity Spinning class in hot tents, you're just depleting sugar reserves and sweating water, go for a walk ! Don't walk too fast, remember: low intensity !
Now I know why my huskies never get tired
yeah go dogs
and how much did you run today?
i didnt run
jackie jackie not in a climate not suited for dog sled runners. Bring a dog sledder to the tropics it will not out perform a human, since it cannot control its internal temperature with relation to its new tropical high humdity surroundings.

Dogs have just reached a new level of epic...
I mean now that I know this...
"Why don't sled dogs ever get tired ?"
- we don't know why !
smh
I was litterally reading through comments wondering if anyone else was going to mention that.
Title asks the question,
Video: well, we do know why they dont get tired, but we dont actually know *why* they dont.
🤔🤨
This video was crap
@@jonbridge6442 atleast it doesnt make up something
@@feelslikebatman6091 aside from the title
Well... We do know why, we just don't understand _how_
They don't ever get tired because they don't need glycogen to sustain their muscles. How their bodies manage that is not well understood.
I thought we were the best at marathons. Well, I really learned something today. Thanks MinuteEarth!
We still are overall. Put those same dogs in 80 degree weather and they don’t make it very far.
Because they’ve specced the most into stamina of all the Outside builds. Dogs in general are extremely meta right now.

@@marcushendriksen8415 No, humans are the more cooperative species, even ahead of elephants. We cooperate in a high level involving people from different groups not closely related to us all the time. We help other species too (as Elephants do) all the time an on a scale that has nothing similar in the rest of the animal kingdom. We help predators all the time, like tigers. Humans build pyramids via cooperation 1000s of years ago, and we survive and thrive even if we are fragile. Cooperation did that.
When it matters the most and we come together our cooperation score is a 5. But those are rare.
Go watch something about the manufacturing feats the USA accomplished during WW2 for instance. Simply amazing
Wow! I knew a family that had a sled dog team, but I knew nothing about how they burned energy, and how well adapted they really were to sled racing. Not to mention I had no idea that humans were able to be such good long distance runners as well.
well while i agree that humans are particularly great distance runners, it’s not very fair that we compare our absolute best versus a random animal. for example many people say we’re better than horses at the marathon because eli kipchoge can run it faster than the average horse. but what about the BEST distance horse, given a lifetime of distance training, good diet, and top facilities. i’m not really sure who would win then...
Ain’t horses pretty high on the list when it comes to stamina... I always thought that was a beautiful thing, that the only two animals that could keep up with human endurance was canines and equine. And that being a major factor as to why hoses, dogs and people adapted so close to work with each other for survival
I really enjoyed this video. But the pun in the end... why?
Puns are cool. Deal with it.
Most of the times, thats how they end the video

I have two huskies. I have learned that they are actually able to CONTROL their digestion system; meaning making it slower/faster.
This video just helped me be a better sprinter
New subscriber! Plus, I LOVE wolves!! They're my fave animals!!
Fact of the day!: Wolves are born with blue eyes and as they grow up they get yellow eyes
How do you explain the full grown wolf in the picture
Cool
Just remember these dogs can only run in the cold because if you’d put them in the heat they don’t sweat like humans, so humans are still the fastest in hot weather
Mike Hawk maybe over time through some CRISPR stuff we can make it so they have more efficient sweating (they can currently sweat from their toe beans) and then they will have the most stamina on land and following the same logic maybe even water
I mean, a sled dog running in a warmer area is like *us* running in a warmer area with winter clothes on.
Of course an animal isn't great in an area it isn't supposed to be in..
Great video. You have a nice voice for narrating.
Take that Born To Run! Also nice pun.
humans can run pretty well on ketones once adapted
"0:57" most males I thought it was most mammals
I highly doubt humans have more stamina than ANY other land mammal other than sled dogs. What about wolves? They "jog" for miles and miles everyday and almost never slow their pace.
Humans in peak fitness condition, or the way most adult hunter-gatherer humans (especially in flatland areas) are. Most modern, sedentary humans couldn't hold a candle to a poodle.
Not many people can hold a candle to a poodle anyways, because people forget that standard poodles were bred to be hunting dogs and are actually very strong and agile if conditioned properly, lol.
The reason why huskies would be better distance runners than wolves is because of our artificial selection for the fastest/longest runners. We've bred them so that not only are they perfectly designed for running, but they LOVE to run. A racing line husky relishes running more than any other activity, so much that if you put them on a dog powered treadmill, they will run themselves into exhaustion if the humans don't regulate their run time.
Sadly, many pet line and show line huskies have had these traits dimmed down or bred out entirely to make them better pets, because racing line huskies are so manic and full of energy that most people can't handle them. If not allowed to run, they get anxious, neurotic, and destructive, and so make poor house dogs. This is why, when organizations like PETA and others, which are super anti dog sport(despite the fact that dogs LOVE doing their sports) shut down sled races and rides, many of these dogs are left homeless, and end up being put to sleep in absence of the job they were born to do and love.
Kyoranai So, you're saying that, because PETA is against animal abuse, they led lots of dogs to "sleep"?
Yeah, that's to be expected from PETA.
Yep. They euthanize 98% of the animals they take in, because to them it's better to be dead than someone's beloved pet.
TheVeganWolf Right!
I had a husky growing up as a kid and a couple times she ran out the back door and escaped. We were probably like 10 or 12 years old but we just chased her around the neighborhood all afternoon until she slowed down or laid down and we would eventually catch her. Huskies will get overheated eventually, at least mine did and the ones my aunt had did (she worked with race dogs). Human children on the other hand seem to have an infinitely deep well of energy along with a strong need to run circles around the kitchen table. (Granted, climate seems to make a big difference, this was in U.S. during spring/summer.)
Yea, even in Florida, my husky seems to never run out of energy. This explains a lot!
Would hate to be chased by one of those.
Chimaobi Onwuka actually it's kinda not true they don't beat us they can if it cold but in a hot day they would overheat
Chimaobi Onwuka not to forget that you can't hide, because they smell you!
Sled dogs have a natural nice temperament and probably would want to be your friend. My retired sled dog is very nice and good with other dogs too.
@@cantu7614 that's why they live in the places with snow
@@patrickcollins6555 thanks for pointing it out. I would have thought that it was implied.
sled dogs will become the norm when car fuel is scarce
Lol maybe in arctic environments
Uh, don't forget the AMERICAN PRONGHORN, THE MOST BADASS RUNNER THE WORLD HAS EVER KNOWN.
[INSERT BUTTHURT MOOSE ROAR]
Yeah that thing exists too, and from I've heard it's a great endurance runner.
It makes perfect sense why sled dogs run the fastest,they were bred for it
I'm breeding a new type of sled cat but so far they're all like "what ev".
I didn’t see my dad on here : (
This makes me love my husky even more.
But I don't have one.😢
Aw maybe you could look into getting a dog if you have the resources to care for it, even if it's not a husky I think it'll still do a great job of brightening your life up.
2:04
.... I better HALT watching this video....
That's why my husky likes run around the garden randomly so much, and looks like it never stops.
I'm curious as to whether or not those sled dogs would beat a human in a marathon run in 20°C or 25°C weather though. I'm pretty sure one of the reasons humans are able to outlast most animals in endurance running has more to do with heat dissipation through sweat than metabolic mechanics.
People who eat the Ketogenic Diet would roll their eyes and say "duh..." 😂
They ain't better in the desert.
Krombopulos Colt nope,sled dogs thick fur can't handel the heat
you ain't better than a zebra in the desert.. well you ain't better than pretty much anything that happens to live in the desert in the desert..
@@renarddubois940 Humans evolved run long distance in hot climates, so...
@@theshermantanker7043 not really , they just kept enough stamina to be able to catch up to wounded preays that can barely run and walk and that are basically already dead because there is no hospital in the wild..
Humans never had to win a fair contest of stamina against other species, ever..
Who would win running across a desert tho? Exactly we'll take our title back now tyvm 😊
Strongoria who would run across a desert that’s a better question only idiots
Now this is a topic I really would like to be watching HourEarth instead of MinuteEarth
I don't know if its true, but I once heard that these dogs run faster when its minus 50 degrees celsius then when its "just" minus 10 degrees celsius. The cold weather actually helps them to not overheat for with that fur they have, they could overheat if they would run full out if it is "just" minus 10 degrees
Who else had to turn the volume down?

There were 2 red wolves that were wearing tracking collars and they ran for 2 weeks straight. Also during famine, wolves in the far north are known to chase lone caribou for days straight.
they were doing that with out pulling a load. wolves do not posses this metabolism trait that Huskies and Malamutes do.
have these people heard of ketosis ?...
What is ketosis exactly...?

Wow that was nice. Now I love the movie 'Below Eight' even more. Sled doggos are awesome!
I have a theory about the glycogen conservation. It's possible that after getting the fat and protein started, they re-route a small amount of it through a valve to do the job that the glycogen normally does in all other mammals. Using this theory, it can also help identify why recent racers do better. Their metabolisms just takes time to shut the valve, and having a pre-running gas is faster than taking time to switch it on. It's a similar concept as getaway drivers during robberies or carpooling. it simply saves time to hop in and go rather than taking tie to put in the keys, change gear, and start driving after.
Good content, but am I the only one who finds the voice annoying?
