The speed of the camel has increased 30%. No shit they dont have a grown adult on its back
You mean decreased?
@@ateasewiththecheese2140no its increased
Lmao soooooo true
you mean europeans are fatter now ?
Stupid take
So no one's gonna talk about how many Toyota land cruisers are there ?
Omen Hp that’s the culture here
Basically any big SUV
It’s the most popular SUV in the Middle East
Those Arabs are so weird ... I die of laughter 😂😂😂😂
Says the indian who probably can’t afford a land cruiser wheel👆👆
who cares !
A Walky talky with a whip, so random
That looks like a little man with a turban
@aiden nedai Take it easy. I been to these tracks. They can't use children as jockeys who used to be on the camels (as their weight can be tolerated by the camels as opposed to adults ). Hence why they use robots these days.
@@hus390 "As their weight can be tolerated by the camels as opposed to adults".
What are you talking about? Camels are stronger than horses
The fact they drive alongside is WILD to me
They run just as funny as I imagined they would
Camels look so interesting when they are racing! Like machines on a mission I swear!
In the next episode: Ten Million Dollar Snail Race.
Jajajajajaa xD
احمد العتيبي good thing I'm mexican and the only thing we race is horse and fight roosters and stuff like that ...tbh this sport its not that bad even thoee it's kinda unusual
how about 100 Mollion tortoise race

4 min BBC video about camel race: you cannot see racing any camel in real speed. Slowmo-God strikes again!
Yeah its a big shame we can't see just a small part in real speed. I'm so curious how fast they run.
Lollppppplllplllpplkjt
@@Sk1tz092 The speed of the camel on the racetrack is 65 km
Would be more interesting if there were longer sequences of actual camels runnng rather than endless slow-mo shots of sunglassed arabs in cars.
Hahahahah
Literally

Love camels! Tremendous endurance! Probably the best of all animals at constant speed.
I love them too but these mfs mix their regurgitation with their saliva and spit it
let those poor camels alone and ban every "sports" where they always finished abused (equitation, race, dressage etc etc)
@@biokosmos camels are for humans and we can do what we want with them. Stay mad
@@biokosmos I agree with you. Looking at the race made me sad
Pronghorns
This is both the most high tech and low tech thing ive ever seen. Love it
(Kick horses to make them race) not cruel
(Let the camels race by themselves) cruel
*LOGIC*
Onyx Friesian Dressage They use their heels if you have ever ridden a horse thats why horses have bruises on their belly sides
Eelefant
Puran Gadri LOL
Clearly says In the video that the robots on the camel's can whip them and even shows it. So yes of course it's cruel, both are.
It’s in fact a race between Nissan Patrol owners.
The most intense salivating 😂
Camels always do this even when not racing unlike horses who do this when sometimes hurt or in extreme pain
Ok this is about the most hilarious thing I've seen today
same, especially the whipping part
watch midgets vs camels. Seriously
If you think its ridicilous You should see ostrich race
This is the kind of ridiculousness that I would expect to see in Futurama.
It's not even forbidden it's just fucking retarded
@@OmarSlloum thank you, Omar
@@MrMrRubic ?
@@OmarSlloum to thank you
So you telling dog race and horse race is not ridiculous
If we had camel races here , B.C. Canada, I'd name mine "Tammy the Cammy" with a bright red wig and red eyelashes.
I can tell with these names and decorations you will not succeed. Camel trainers don’t sleep at all.
Arabs: *hahaha, pathetic*
Bae
u should ride it in Granville street 😂
That's the reason yall dont
Next episode: 1 Million sloth race ( 10 Miles ) took 17 years
Wow!!! Speed is increased by 30%. Idea of Robots is mind blowing as well resulting in fast decrease in Child Trafficing.
Ahmer Mirza z
It's ridiculous.
@@saqlainalvi5485 Why? You want children back on cameL?
@@AbdulHameed-bw4cg obviously not. But seeing people in Toyotas, driving besides racing camels, shouting commands through a robot is funny.
me and the lads going out for a cheeky nandos
Thank you for the information
Better give us some suckie suckie
😂 the walkie talkies and remote whips
Thank you so much for this kind of information
Imagine Hunter S. Thompson covering this race.
2:41 Retreat retreat
thanks for share
0:55 camel gate opens *minecraft enderdragon sound* plays
This would be exciting to watch! Im amazed that the camels will run riderless and listen to radio commands! I wonder if there is extensively kept breeding records like there is for thoroughbreds?
Sure there is…let me check the center I go to here in Abu Dhabi, should an English version of their website exist.
Please watch also the Arabian greyhound and the Arabian horse
Why are there so many comments of animal abuse? These camels are treated better than kings outside of the race track.
🤗
what?
they live locked in stables and if they can no longer run they are killed
humans are so cruel that they just use them as objects
@@martinhidalgo3227 Arabs don't usually eat camels. I think you're thinking of Australia or what happens to race horses. But the gulf have become more stupid in recent decades it may happen
@@CaSama i didn´t say arabs eat camels
What... The.... he'll!?... this is absolute madness hahaha.

They actually just look like large greyhounds running from the side!
Amazing thumbs up
Yes
How can I watch the full series?
Forget Ferrari
I want a camel!

I love camels so much
Whats the commands they shout through the radio on the camel "GO FASTER GO FASTER" 😂😂😂😂

Love to Saudi Arabia..from india

why lol...ur dumb
Cool video
"To save on weight" sounds very nice, but the truth is that several nations banned jockeys because the search for lighter jockeys lead a lot of competitors to use child-slaves.
Ken Abbott that's true
those slaves were available easily from any poor country like bagladesh, india n pak. truth is in some races they still use children
Yes I am disgusted at the outright lie that robot jockeys have come into use solely to save weight. Totally sweeps the history of child exploitation under the carpet. Shame, BBC
Ken Abbott its done with small boys tied at the back of camels. Cruelity
Craigs List, you mean Khazarians Israel?
i believe they must have so much water stock for this race
That salivating😂
The most intense salivating 😂
I live in the U.S in Delaware and we do have some horse farms with some camels but more in PA though.
The camels in the west are not the same as an Arabian camel
See also Arabian horse and Arabian greyhound
Camel racing?! Whoa that’s cool. Eat your heart out Secretariat.
3:13 x)
When you have both, money and time.😍
been there seen those trainers n workers.. poor people get so little
Wow how fast they run
My new favourite sport
No wonder the Arabians love the Landcruisers so much.
Basically our culture at this point lmao
So organised ans sophisticated almost looks like ascot
nice race
This isn't misspent infact it's one of their culture which is glaring in the whole Arab World.
Replacing riders with robots was a good idea cause in the old days they used boys and young men for this races and like in every sport sometimes there were accidents.
Wait until the robots get woke and unionize.
This is funny as hell
I love camel and I rode one when I was 3 years old
I know camels are use to the heat of the desert, but having to run god knows how far, having a small robot beat you with a whip and a speaker yelling at you, also cars and other voices yelling at you and honking horns, they most be soo stressed out and miserable, and their running soo far they have got froth all other themselves from it. Those poor things. They shouldn't have to suffer for our entertainment.
I'm pretty sure they are treated as gods outside of the race track
Bruvv... c’mon ..!! Camels are built for way harsher environments... ever been to fucking Arabian or Sahara dessert..?? This lasts for like 30mins or even an hour is very little to be concerned about how these camels feel. Fact check me, These camels live better life than almost any of us humans.
@@greenlobster9171 did you know camels originate from North America? The ones you see in Asia and Middle East are imported from there many many many years ago :p
Why are you just talking about camels?
Although horses and lions in plays and performances, and after the race, they treat them better than kings, believe me
Love u canals love u Arabic shame one Australia gowrmint
El mejor video del mundo
This is lit
This looks fun 👍 I hope I see them in my trip to Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦. Does anyone know where exactly to find them?
Hey, idk where to find em but if your visiting saudi Arabia make sure you eat alot of shawarmas from different shawarma shops.. you wont regret it
And try kabsa
James Cohen
If you come to Saudi Arabia keep on touch with me .. it is my pleasure to help you
I know im 8 months late but you can find them on the out skirt of riyadh or in janadariya. You can even see horses in janadariya
Oman
Camels are my favorite animal, but for some reason seeing them run, the way their knees bend it just looks like it should hurt
Billy Enzen lol😂😂
Its called the ship of the desert for some reason
You dont know how camel is created science fact cheeck it
Ruthless
Wow thats pretty fast
Love you Arab and respect you from bottom my heart....
Miami Best boy thanks man

So... Nobody is going to talk about the camels foaming at their mouths?
TIL that camels go into "rut" and foam at the mouth during mating season.
How you tube read my thought I don't know but I was thinking on this
Good.
The announcer sounds like he's beat boxing
I seen this in a Jackie Chan movie and wanted to see if it’s real🤣🤣💯 #Damn💰
What's the movie I'm interested
I saw it in a james bond movie
@@foggychaos4803 kung fu yoga
what's next? robot camel races?
I never knew they could run so fast. 😧😧😧😧😧
Camel is like an airplane in the desert when running
Enough of internet today🙌😂
2:15 name of that person ?
I think he's just screamin out commands to the camels bro
@@zuhayrah nope he is saying someone's name
He’s an announcer announcing the places of each competitor’s camel to people watching at home.
Good
Oh, my God! Life needs lots of money and money is life!
Camels are the ships of the desert, look at how Allah created them fittingly for the environment they live in, Let's contemplate as Allah said in the holy Quran: "Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created?"
subhan Allah, Camels truly show that we have a creator who created everything,
-Camels have three sets of eyelids and two rows of eyelashes to keep sand out of their eyes.
-Camels have thick lips which let them forage for thorny plants other animals can’t eat.
-Camels can completely shut their nostrils during sandstorms.
-Thanks to the one who gave it thick pads of skin on their chest and knees, camels can comfortably sit in very hot sand.
-Their humps let them store up to 80 pounds of fat which they can live off for weeks and even months!
-When a camel finally does find water, he can drink up to 40 gallons in one go.
-Camels are very strong and can carry up to 900 pounds for 25 miles a day.
-Camels can travel at up to 40 miles per hour - the same as a racehorse!
Oussama Erraji why is this any different from Formula 1 or horse racing?
U WUT M8? You got the F1 bit.. what about the horse racing one?
U WUT M8? The point wasn't about technology, it was purely about money. he said "too much money in the wrong hands" (and incidentally has a F1 helmet as a profile picture) and I was asking why this sport was different from any other in this regard, so I'm afraid your comment is a bit pointless.
U WUT M8? well thats true...but give them at least the breeding "skills"
Monkey My point is that this kind of sport is just a pure wasting money leisure with any kind of useful gain economic wise for the local society: who benefits today from the fastest camel? Bedouins in this BBC doc about arabia are shown to organize festivals to find out who is the best camel rider yet they don't spend millions in the process probably because they don't have any.
F1 is a huge technology lab where lots of money are invested to make both racing cars and modern cars faster, more fuel efficient, more intelligent and safer....
What i'm concerned about is what will these people do when eventually will oil wells dry up? Why don't they invest those millions in a smart way (eg. building factories) to both contribute to the country wealth and create a non-petrol non-finance related source of profit.
Breeding and racing camels is by far easier and more interesting I guess.
Oussama Erraji What they do when the oil runs dry is probably a national (and indeed international) concern and I concede that the trickle-down effect from F1 is a factor, even if it is relatively slow, but the point stands that there is no reason not to spend their money on this if that's what they enjoy. I personally like cycling, so I buy various bikes and bits and pieces for it that doesn't really benefit anybody else (economic externalities aside) but I'm not a bad person for doing that, and it's the same here. It may be true that the world could see more benefit if that money was used in a different way, but it's not the world's money, it's the individual's, and it's up to the individual to spend it as they choose. It's important to separate business from pleasure, pointing out that that money could have been spent on R&D or starving children in africa is a very one-dimensional way of looking at the world; people want to have fun.
Nice technology used
oh my
Are they foaming at the mouth because they are sick, or is that just camel spit?
***** lol ok captain obvious ;) I get what you mean
+Tina2tu Camel spit. They tend to foam at the mouth a lot from what I reckon.
ahhh ok!! I was worried for a little bit lol
actually they r given the very healthy dose..
almost 2 small bouls mixed of honey nd dates so dats y they foam when they r goin hard
Its cum
To be fair, horses were already fast enough.
+Mick Cucurullo Yes, and imagine strapping these (larger) animals with 100 pounds of weight. They couldn't manage.
you do realise that camels are faster than horses and can stay for days or even weeks without refueling right?
Don't be fooled, camels are NOT faster. For a short sprint, quite possibly, they might be able to reach high speeds that a horse may reach, but any horse that is of any equal stature would outrun and out perform a camel. Camels are lazier creatures, whilst horses are much more willing to please and aid humans. The desert is easily the camels environment, though. Like you said they can last up to two weeks (up too, not always. That's the longest they could last) without water. On the other hand, it takes 3-4 days for a horse to konk out from water. Camels cannot hold as much weight as a horse, either. How do I know this? There's a petting zoo that owns 3 camels right by me and a good friend of mine works there. She takes care of the camels and they rarely do anything but walk and sleep haha.
Bish Queen wow! your friend has very little to no knowledge about camels. I am from Somalia and most people there keep camels for milk and social status. What do you think they us to carry stuff when they are moving. A camel can probably carry an entire horse bodyweight and even more without any trouble. Look it up on the internet.
Bish Queen a camel can hold up to 450 LG but a horse can carry no more than 110kg. Case closed.
its BBC Earth..
so they have BBc Mercury and Jupiter etc..
Why is this so funny
Who else first thought camels can only walk not run faster ?
Mohammed, where are you from?
Camels have being used at war for centuries. By the way, their smell makes war horses uncomfortable, how could anyone called after the Prophet (peace be upon him) not know they run?
The camels are all on the juice & the robots are overclocked. It's a rigged game...
yeah my robot was laggin i demand a rematch
They do a medical test after the race to see if they were using anything illegal to came racing, and I know that you commented 3 years ago and probably forgot about it, but either way yeah that’s it.
What instructions do they radio the camels? “Habibi if you win you get extra treats” 😂
Next step: fully driverless camels. That robot is going to be driven by a convolutional neural network.
