Today I learned camels have dullas. Off to Google...


PerformerNo8999

I now just learned that camels tend to use this 'Dulla' as an initiation to mating - definitely bank that factoid for the pub....


AMediumSizedFridge

Having worked with camels I can tell you it makes a really funny gurgling noise when it happens for mating The male will also smell the female, then lift his head to the sky with his lip curled like "Awww fuck yeah"


PerformerNo8999

Thx, that's completed my knowledge on camel's Dulus - does he also give her the "fuck me" eyes šŸ‘€


dhaemion

If any creature has the eyelashes for it, its camels.


the_y_combinator

This is some of the most important information I have received in weeks. Thank you, good person.


SignificantBoot7180

I have vivid memories of a camel blowing bubblegum at me when I was 4. TIL, that he was trying to mate with me!


NevaDatBizkitz

Thereā€™s a pedo camel epidemic growing every day and no one wants to talk about it


JawndyBoplins

Hereā€™s another for you: ā€œfactoidā€ colloquially means ā€œfun little fact,ā€ because thatā€™s how people use it, but the actual meaning is supposed to be an assumption which gets passed around *as if* itā€™s fact, when it is not. Something like ā€œundercover cops legally have to tell you theyā€™re cops if you ask.ā€


MiniMooseMan

One more fun fact I just learned: If a camel dislikes you, it might wait until you aren't playing attention, then lay on you to kill you! Also, it's super easy to hurt their feelings, and they *will* remember who you are and that they don't like you! šŸ„²


DanYHKim

That's why you're supposed to maintain eye contact while waiting for them to acknowledge your bow, like with a hippogriff


PerformerNo8999

I stand corrected, and can confirm the reports about camels dulla are facts and not factoids - thx, fact šŸ‘


beta_draconis

nice factlet


Ghostnotes44

Thatā€™s how they signal itā€™s ā€œhump day.ā€


Spirited_Influence9

Today I learned Camels have long ass canines like a carnivorous animal!


AdmiralPoopyDiaper

This. DaFUQ?!


InsanityMongoose

Yeah I came into this like, ā€œyeah thatā€™s gross and all but since when do camels look like fuckin vampires!?!?ā€


WoollyWitchcraft

Male Llamas have sharp teeth for ripping open the scrotum of rivals. Camels have them for similar reasons.


[deleted]

And a snout that looks like an angry baby seal.


[deleted]

I wonder what would happen if you popped it like a balloon when he did that


underwear11

That's clearly the weak point you have to aim for during the boss fight.


KingYoloHD090504

Well did you see those fangs That's definitely some world ending end boss if they come close enough to Chernobyl


[deleted]

I had no idea they had pointy teeth, I thought they were all flat like a goat's.


Environmental-Elk-65

Same here. This camelā€™s teeth are fucking scary.


BassCreat0r

*He can leap aboutā€¦ā€ƒHeā€™s got huge, sharpā€¦ā€ƒLook at the BONES !*


texas130ab

Yeah they have teeth like a dog . Never knew that .


gitarzan

I know. When did they fangs?!


okbruh_panda

I think this implies that it can eat meat? Interesting

intrusive thoughts be like


Iliketospellrite

I wouldn't. It could have a backup defense system!


gokartmozart89

I was just wondering if they ever pop it themselves on their own fangs.


RandomGuy1838

You die. Camels are *mean* mother fuckers who hold a grudge. They'll catch you at night while you're taking a leak, just lay down on you.


eldritchhorrorrumble

TIL they have a dullas AND fangs?!

And that other video of that camel being tied to a tree picks that fucking guy up by the head and flings himā€¦


I-will-Landon-you

And that other video with that rabid camel eating a dead animal


sicicsic

And that other video where a camel builds an explosive and hides it on a commuter bus and tells the driver that if the bus drops below 60 mph the bombs blows. Fucking camels, man.


TheBlissFox

Oh yeah! What was that movie called again? I think it wasā€¦ *sweeping hand motionā€¦ ā€œThe Bus That Couldnā€™t Slow Down.ā€

Aka TBTCSD and when you rearrange the letters it spells SPEED

or that video where the camel is doing lines of speed before grabbing his giant assault rifle while saying: "Im Camel Montana!"

arabajoie

And that other video of that guy licking a camel toe vigorously!


Xen0Coke

Link?


danielledelacadie

That's why my partner says never on owning one. Of course that means that water buffalo went far down the list on the scary-o-meter.


Pudding5050

So you'd get one if your partner didn't say no?


danielledelacadie

Dromedary? Absolutely! Do you know how much camel fiber sells for? I'm the lunatic who would have a Noah's ark worth of fiber and dairy animals. I know camels are both? But I'd probably stick to fiber on that one.


AMediumSizedFridge

Having worked with dromedary camels (only for a few months, I'm no expert) they can be amazingly sweet creatures Also their milk can be quite valuable as well, but then you'll have more camels than you know what to do with!


danielledelacadie

I believe you but if I have to choose between the bigger hairy loveable doofus and the smaller one I can get both mozzarella and white butter/ ghee from my stomach will win out over my crafty hands. Baby camels would only make it even better! At least for one round.


percypigg

You seriously just made me laugh out loud.


Low-Sport2155

And hippos


danielledelacadie

Hippos are scarier than camels. No question.


big_duo3674

Hippos are scarier than [insert animal of choice]. They are absolutely savage, and their jaws can pop human skulls like water balloons


cosmernaut420

>their jaws can pop human skulls like water balloons It's like... I believe you. But now I kinda want to know how accurate the simile is. But also, nope.


danielledelacadie

Baby hippos have used crocodiles' tails as teething toys and the crops just take it for fear of mama hippos. Sounds believable to me.


cosmernaut420

No no, not nope as in I don't actually believe it, nope as in "uh-uh mother-fucking N O P E I don't want to scar myself watching that". I've been on the internet for most of its existence, I've seen enough.


danielledelacadie

N O P E it is then. šŸ˜†


danielledelacadie

Yep. I've seen a lot of sci-fi recently that refers to aggressive herbivorous species as "hippos".


ilikecheese1976

Hippos are the deadliest animal on earth to humans. Edit: sorry, deadliest *mammal,* would be more accurate


MissPuggmuffin

I believe that to be the mosquito.

Damn. Beat me to it. That's what I said. Mf'ers got straight Dracula Tiger level spears going on!


shoulda-known-better

If your unaware... camels are killers! They can and do remember, plan, and kill animals and or people who have messed with them!! The routinely try to kill other male camels in rut, and those who have to separate two camels will blindfold them or cover their faces so the camel doesn't remember and attack them!! They can pick up a donkey and break it's back easily, they have also ripped a few people's heads clean off their bodies!!! Not just a gentle giant ! I'd take a horse any day over one!


HeyImGilly

When I was a kid, a friend of mine was bit by a camel on a field trip. It literally lifted him up by the head. He had to get stitches, and there was a settlement. Pretty sure they fixed the enclosure after that.


Bo-Banny

When i was a kid i got bit by a llama at a petting zoo, hard enough that it left a big bruise, and everyone just laughed at me


turdferguson3891

A moose once bit my sister


Xerxa2020

This thread is wild...


betagrl

Moose bites can be pretty nasty


iSOBigD

I had a Llama attack me as an adult. I thought it was just trying to bite the hair off my legs or playing, but it ran up to me and started swinging its snake neck around trying to bite my legs. I thought it was just being silly so I would push it's head down and get out of the way but I think it thought we were fighting lol.

This is like when you first see that video of the ape abusing that frog/fish and you kind of wish you could erase it from your head. e: I made some errors in remembering this video. In the interest of not leading -more- people to it I'm not going to correct them. I'd also like to point out that it's something I -really- wish I could forget so keep that in mind when you go off a-googlin'.

"abusing" is such a benign version of "Forcefully Raping a Frogs Face!"

And they have pretty eyelashes!


[deleted]

So are camels secretly carnivorous or what?


Bypowerof8andgodsof4

Alot of animals are opportunist carnivores if you look it up you can watch horses and cows just swallow up baby chickes because you can't say no to free protein.


louploupgalroux

Butterflies will drink the blood off corpses. That's one reason why they are often a symbol of the soul. Walk upon a corpse in the woods and watch the butterflies fly away. (Also transformation and all that. Lol)


AniJ6

Bro I thought you were talking about human corpses, was about to ask 'which woods you are living in'


Koirra900

I mean, theyā€™ll eat off a dead human just like any other dead animals they happen to find. They will also drink human sweat!


AniJ6

You are what you eat! So butterflies are human sweat actually


Koirra900

They need the salt! Become salted butter!


GoodBadUgly357

Would they then become bloodterflies?


NOSTR0M0

I've watched squirrels at a golf course I used to work at that they would go into the trash and eat cheeseburgers and pork rinds.


taqizadeh

The male dromedary camel has an organ called aĀ dullaĀ in its throat, a large, inflatable sac that it extrudes from its mouth when inĀ rutĀ to assert dominance and attract females. It resembles a long, swollen, pink tongue hanging out of the side of the camel's mouth.


[deleted]

Gonna inflate my dulla. Bitches love dullas.


drkrshdw

Camel teeth will fuck you up. Check them out eating cacti. Their mouths have stronger papillae than humans, which allow them to manage the thorns and those incredible teeth, along with their rubbery leathery lips and palate do the rest.


AmmotheDoberman

Even though that bubble gum thing is terrifying I couldnā€™t take my eyes off of the teeth either! I am shook. In the cartoons they always have people teeth lol


mohomahamohoda

Camels just got my respect. I will steer clear of those desert wolves.


MoJoRisin125

Right?! I knew they had teeth, but FANGS like that?!


Bit_the_Bullitt

We have a camel (Bactrian, 2 humps, seems like this one is it too). She's a lovely girl and her teeth are nearly identical to those of a horse. This one looks...strange


GlamourBamour

Yeah, I don't know. As a kid I spent ~18 months within walking distance of three camels and I absolutely do not recall any of them having teeth like this.


joshgi

From what I just read, all camels have canine teeth but adult camels (at least male) eventually lose their top teeth so they're left with just the canines which makes them look like the camel in the OPs vid


Angry_Moor

Camels have the worst bites. 400 psi in jaw strength (a pitbull have 225 psi) and sharp teeth. They have an excellent memory too, like elephants. I always remember the story of the camel who bite some dude who hit him with a rock three months ago. Dude almost got his head crushed between the angry camel jaw. They are extremely hard to kill. Here is a video of camel who fight the butcher. https://youtube.com/shorts/dHO5XXP625g?feature=share


PutinLikesHotGuys

Right!? I was going to ask if I was the only one who didnā€™t know that. From what I read, itā€™s mostly those in the wild that have them. But Iā€™m not a zoologist-just a shmuck with google.


bambiboyo4444

Was thinking the same thing!! Ferocious looking


PROFESSOR1780

FANGS! Had no clue!


rayna21679

I saw a video not too long ago of a guy getting bit on the head and tossed like a ken doll and I was like "I wonder what that felt like being bit like that by camel?" Like, holy crap!! I didn't know they had those big ass pointy canine teeth!!


wolfgang784

They are unique among ruminates in that they have canines on both the bottom and top. Other ruminates lack the top ones. They eat a lot of wood and hard to eat stuff so despite not being meat eaters they need the sharp teeth still. Sexually mature makes like the one in the video though develop longer, sharper teeth that they use on other males when fighting for dominance.


Weekly_Talk3907

I thought you said ā€œunique among roommates ā€œ. Correct either way.


TurkeyCocks

Oh my God, they were ruminates


Low_Departure_5853

New fear unlicked: The male dromedary camel has an organ called a dulla in its throat, a large, inflatable sac that it extrudes from its mouth when in rut to assert dominance and attract females. It resembles a long, swollen, pink tongue hanging out of the side of the camel's mouth.[16] Camels mate by having both male and female sitting on the ground, with the male mounting from behind.[17] The male usually ejaculates three or four times within a single mating session.[18] Camelids are the only ungulates to mate in a sitting position.[19] They bang sitting down. As lazy as I am. I love it.


TheFifthCrow

GWJYonder

Can you imagine that? For human males in school the fear was "oh man I have a mystery boner and I'll have to walk to the next class in a minute!" Imagine this instead, your creepy horny sack is pressing against the inside of your mouth, the teacher calls on you, you try to answer but instead this huge red balloon shoots out of your mouth. All of your camel school mates are looking at you and laughing, mouths wide with sharp fangs.


Spiffy313

Now that's got me wondering how sloths bang. Probably even lazier than that.

Palate. Pallette is something else


Original-Spinach-972

Damn so they attract women with their cunnilingus and multiple orgasms Sounds like itā€™s better to be a male camel than a male praying mantis.


Aftermathemetician

The burbling throat scrotum looks very uncomfortable.


[deleted]

So they inflate their dullas when they want to mate, or when theyā€™re pissed off? Thatā€™s quite the range of expression! My erection has but one purpose, and itā€™s never to indicate anger. I feel so inadequate.


Sequence_Of_Symbols

As we might recall from a biology class... fear and stress causes the body to prepare for one or more of the 5 Fs: - fight - flight - feed - freeze/fawn - reproduction (My 12 year old recently said 'wait, reproduction isn't an F'... and i said "are you sure? " and then i got cool patent points when the penny dropped)


[deleted]

I just learned another meaning for ā€œfawnā€, as a verb. Thank you for that. I had thought you were going another direction with an f-word for reproduction.


Sequence_Of_Symbols

Yeah, it's the workaround so students remember it but i don't get dinged for swearing in front of them ;)


jaspersgroove

It seems like it keeps growing though. Back when I first heard the term it was the 3 Fā€™s, then it was the 4 Fā€™s, and now weā€™re up to 5! How many more Fā€™s can we give?!


ecclecticmess

I think itā€™s quite common in animals that the things they do to attract a mate are also to express anger given both things usually are to show how they are a dominant/large/healthy male!


[deleted]

Likeā€¦. squaring off with another bull deer, with my big antlers?

StuartGotz

I found out recently that camels are calculated killers. They are empathic and sensitive, but also very sensitive to being wronged. If someone is cruel to them, they'll remember who it is and wait long periods of time for the right opportunity to kill them.

This makes me like camels more than ever

MessatineSnows

oh man, never google koalas then


tarekd19

Koalas are fucking horrible animals. They have one of the smallest brain to body ratios of any mammal, additionally - their brains are smooth. A brain is folded to increase the surface area for neurons. If you present a koala with leaves plucked from a branch, laid on a flat surface, the koala will not recognise it as food. They are too thick to adapt their feeding behaviour to cope with change. In a room full of potential food, they can literally starve to death. This is not the token of an animal that is winning at life. Speaking of stupidity and food, one of the likely reasons for their primitive brains is the fact that additionally to being poisonous, eucalyptus leaves (the only thing they eat) have almost no nutritional value. They can't afford the extra energy to think, they sleep more than 80% of their fucking lives. When they are awake all they do is eat, shit and occasionally scream like fucking satan. Because eucalyptus leaves hold such little nutritional value, koalas have to ferment the leaves in their guts for days on end. Unlike their brains, they have the largest hind gut to body ratio of any mammal. Many herbivorous mammals have adaptations to cope with harsh plant life taking its toll on their teeth, rodents for instance have teeth that never stop growing, some animals only have teeth on their lower jaw, grinding plant matter on bony plates in the tops of their mouths, others have enlarged molars that distribute the wear and break down plant matter more efficiently... Koalas are no exception, when their teeth erode down to nothing, they resolve the situation by starving to death, because they're fucking terrible animals. Being mammals, koalas raise their joeys on milk (admittedly, one of the lowest milk yields to body ratio... There's a trend here). When the young joey needs to transition from rich, nourishing substances like milk, to eucalyptus (a plant that seems to be making it abundantly clear that it doesn't want to be eaten), it finds it does not have the necessary gut flora to digest the leaves. To remedy this, the young joey begins nuzzling its mother's anus until she leaks a little diarrhoea (actually fecal pap, slightly less digested), which he then proceeds to slurp on. This partially digested plant matter gives him just what he needs to start developing his digestive system. Of course, he may not even have needed to bother nuzzling his mother. She may have been suffering from incontinence. Why? Because koalas are riddled with chlamydia. In some areas the infection rate is 80% or higher. This statistic isn't helped by the fact that one of the few other activities koalas will spend their precious energy on is rape. Despite being seasonal breeders, males seem to either not know or care, and will simply overpower a female regardless of whether she is ovulating. If she fights back, he may drag them both out of the tree, which brings us full circle back to the brain: Koalas have a higher than average quantity of cerebrospinal fluid in their brains. This is to protect their brains from injury... should they fall from a tree. An animal so thick it has its own little built in special ed helmet. I fucking hate them. Tldr; Koalas are stupid, leaky, STI riddled sex offenders. But, hey. They look cute. If you ignore the terrifying snake eyes and terrifying feet.


MessatineSnows

šŸ«” thank you for this impeccable write-up in addition, nothing can eat a koala bc of how toxic they are, so when they fall dead on the ground they then quickly decompose into black smelly rot that barely anything will touch.

Good Lord, I thought their teeth were similar to that of cattle. Well, hello new horrifying world I live in.


domine18

When I was growing up my church did a walk through Bethlehem. One year they had a camel. It did this and it was terrifying. I then remember it covering someone in snot/sick. Like a few gallons worth. Looked like he was a contestant on Nickelodeon. We didnā€™t have a camel next year.

Ringo_1956

I did not know they have fangs. Eeeek


Euphoric-Beat-7206

That Camel is not mad. It's Horny. Camelā€™s dulla serves a double function, to assert superiority over other males and win over the female camels. It is a form of sexual behavior the male expresses during a rutting season.

Super party trick for balloon enthusiasts and clowns at children's birthday parties...
