* The problem comes when they start asking for a living wage, which is…well, perfectly fair and appropriate. Camels are one of the animals that can carry heavy loads. Oxen were essentially large, efficient, useful animals that saw a remarkable amount of use in transportation and overland cargo-hauling simply because they happened to be around, and someone said, “Hey look, we can attach stuff to this big animal!” It didn’t hurt that oxen aren’t easily spooked, and can handle difficult terrain – at the cost of speed. How is a recessive allele different from a dominant allele? Which best describes the domain (all x-values) and range (all y-values) of the function? Then it gets more complicated. Ah, yes. The carrying pole can be used to carry people, a use for which there is a word in English: “litter.”  Many other large animals simply won’t accept this. I just thought that could be useful trivia. We've listed any clues from our database that match your search. geographically as to what type of animal is available. Especially not from an even more difficult starting point, like the zebra. For two way slab, the tributary area can be used to transfer loads to the beams on all sides of the slab. Camels can last infinity days without drinking or eating. The ass or donkey is the oldest-known pack animal, having been in use possibly as early as 3500 bc.Pack animals are most often used in terrain where wheeled vehicles would encounter difficulty. The entire infectious virus particle, called a virion, consists of the nucleic acid and an outer shell of protein. The nucleic acid may be single- or double-stranded. For example, if a has the identification number 3024, the 3 represents its birth year within the decade (2013), whilst 024 is the cow’s individual number. Elephants are proven to be the most intelligent mammal and they have a very good memory power for many years. But oxen can eat chaff, tree leaves, dried hay, mash left over from brewing alcohol – pretty much anything vaguely plant-based that isn’t explicitly poisonous. The carts, bits, collars, saddles and so forth used by modern (and even Renaissance) animal handlers are quite sophisticated – but their ancestors were much cruder implements. Were horses fast? The howdah, or top-castle, used by passengers riding an elephant has poor load-distribution, and is potentially damaging to their spine or lungs. * In practical terms, llamas are half-way between an Old World camel and a mountain goat – but with better meat and hair. Despite their size,* they require only as much food as a large horse. If your characters find themselves traversing a desert, this is definitely the sort of beastie they should bring along. How many signers of the Declaration of Independence became president? They’re not quite as efficient as good guard dogs, but on the other hand, they don’t require special food, they’ll just graze with the sheep. *, Narrow, bipedal creatures known as “humans” have long been counted among the best pack animals. We are one of two species of a very specific form of predator: Instead of just running at prey which comes our way, we can follow it until it, simply speaking, gives up and keels over. *  Elephants were also surprisingly competent executioners – thankfully, not a use for elephants that was in any way associated with their roles in transportation. As with camels in deserts, dogs are a top choice in snow, and have the added benefit of being more intelligent and “tuned in” to humans. On the central Eurasian steppe, horses proved more efficient and essential. But wait, there’s more: a second eyelid and huge eyelashes for sandstorm resistance, specialized foot pads for efficient walking over soft yet burning sand, oblong red blood cells* – you get the idea. The easiest way to put “fantasy” animals in your books is simply to domesticate some of Earth’s more fantastic creatures, like giraffes, rhinos, or emu. 3. ASS. The plot in your low-tech worlds may not always flow along rivers and oceans; your characters are going to have to hire a carriage or buy a mule eventually. Of course, the truth is much more nuanced than that, and horses have some oft-overlooked liabilities (and benefits). They can carry passengers in palanquins or rickshaws – both very efficient transportation methods in urban settings.
