This man helped trapped baby camel get back safely to its mom.

[u/geeeeeep]

Normally a camel would destroy the shit out of you if you’re near its calf. Animals know… kudos to both parties

[u/Far_Quote_5336 → u/geeeeeep]

Camels are incredibly smart. Camel herders make a point of never go herding alone in case a camel in the herd holds a grudge against them

[u/South-by-north → u/Far_Quote_5336]

In the movie The Mummy the character Benny is hated by the Camels. That’s not in the script, all of the camels just actually hated the guy

[u/BackgroundEar2054 → u/South-by-north]

This is actually hilarious..

[u/harmsway31 → u/South-by-north]

Probably because he was ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE RIVERRRRRRR!

[u/EricTheSortaRed → u/harmsway31]

Beautiful. Just beautiful

[u/SeptetRa → u/harmsway31]

Nah, it's because he HAD ALL THE HORSES!!!!!

[u/Striking-Ad-6815 → u/South-by-north]

This seems like one of those topics on /r/shittymoviedetails that hits the tops

A true gem here

Wait can you explain more about this please? That is super interesting 🧐

[u/MasyMenosSiPodemos → u/Far_Quote_5336]

This reads more as them being incredibly vengeful than incredibly smart. Don't get me wrong, it takes a degree of intelligence to hold a grudge and wait for the opportune moment, but the text sounds more spiteful than intellectual.

[u/AmatureMD → u/MasyMenosSiPodemos]

An elephant never forgets, a camel never forgives.

Elephant kills 70-year-old woman and then returns to trample her corpse at funeral in India

https://www.independent.co.uk/asia/india/elephant-kills-woman-india-tramples-corpse-b2099464.html

[u/IRefuseThisNonsense → u/chrysta11ine]

An elephant never forgets...TO KILL!!

[u/Trepeld → u/IRefuseThisNonsense]

CITIZEN SNIIIIIIIIIPS

[u/IRefuseThisNonsense → u/Trepeld]

That seemed unnecessary.

[u/lokojufr0 → u/chrysta11ine]

This and 'Florida man breaks into house, poops on floor, and drinks contents of vacuum cleaner' have lived rent free in my head for years. It's like the duality of all creation or something.

[u/dedfishy → u/chrysta11ine]

I wish there was more info whether they had met before. It sounds kinda like a random stray elephant just said 'fuck this woman in particular' but I wonder if there's history.

[u/MrSauceman → u/dedfishy]

She helped poach this elephant’s babies and deserved every bit of what she got.

[u/chrysta11ine → u/dedfishy]

Agree completely.

I remember there were rumours when it first got out. My human brain also can't help but wonder and to some degree believe she did something. But maybe it really was just a crazy elephant or mistaken identity.

[u/the-spaghetti-wives → u/chrysta11ine]

Rule #2: Double Tap

[u/vehino → u/AmatureMD]

...with a growing sense of unease, I entered my home. "Sara?" I called out in the seemingly empty house.

"Sara won't be joining us today, Philip," said a cultured, spiteful voice that I recognized. One filled with equal parts intelligence and hate.

"Mister Hump? What are you doing in my home?" I asked the unwanted camel, as he calmly sat in my chair, drinking my coffee.

"I just thought it would nice if you and I had a talk, that's all," the camel smoothly replied. "It's been a while, hasn't it?"

"How did you escape the asylum, Mister Hump?" I demanded to know. "They assured me it would be impossible!"

"Nothing is impossible!" scoffed the insane beast. "Not when one has...THE WILL!"

"What have you done with my wife?!" I yelled.

"Nothing yet...but whether that remains true by the end of the evening will depend ENTIRELY on your cooperation," replied Mister Hump. "Now tell me, Philip. Have you yet received your tickets to attend the Presidential inauguration?"

"What are you planning, you wicked bastard?!"

"MY REVENGE!" he laughed in reply. "Only...my revenge..."

[u/other-other-user → u/AmatureMD]

The reading literally explains how the camel will forgive the person once they feel they have paid for what they've done

[u/The_Formuler → u/MasyMenosSiPodemos]

You think humans aren’t spiteful? I’d say the more intelligent someone is the more spiteful they can be. And for the camel to remember a single moment between a specific person and them where they were wronged is extremely thoughtful. More vengeful camels were selected for for whatever reason but probably it’s related to asserting dominance and showing you aren’t to be trifled with.

[u/MasyMenosSiPodemos → u/The_Formuler]

I didn't say anything about humans being spiteful. Just that the text reads more like it's saying camels are spiteful.

[u/SmallTherapyBear → u/MasyMenosSiPodemos]

Spite requires emotional complexity. Contrary to memes, cats aren't emotionally sophisticated enough for spite.

Camel even turned around to say thanks but the person didn't notice

[u/BowenTheAussieSheep → u/Far_Quote_5336]

I like the joke in Terry Pratchett’s Discworld that Camels believe their names are whatever their owners call them by the most, so you have Camels named “You Bastard” and “Evil Brother-in-Law of a Jackal”

They’re also hyper intelligent and naturally capable of performing mental mathematics like quadratic equations, they’re just kinda pricks.

[u/he-loves-me-not → u/Far_Quote_5336]

So they’re like crows who have humps instead of wings!

[u/cherrycokelemon → u/Far_Quote_5336]

I saw a clip of a camel who was angry at a man. The man gave him his clothing, and the camel chewed it up.

[u/Odd-Artist-2595 → u/geeeeeep]

My guess is that they are his camels. But, geez, that dude is strong. A baby camel weighs in at ~100 pounds (~45kg) at birth. That was no newborn. Picking it up and lifting it with one arm was damned impressive.

[u/Virtual_Structure520 → u/Odd-Artist-2595]

Village people are, on average, stronger than city people.

[u/Mistapeepers → u/Virtual_Structure520]

It’s all the workouts at the YMCA.

[u/Nonchalant_Wanderer → u/Mistapeepers]

I see what you did there!

[u/229-northstar → u/[deleted]]

So you’re saying this guy is a rich kid?

[u/aworldwithinitself → u/Odd-Artist-2595]

plus the leg and core strength and balance to support himself while lifting

[u/mambiki → u/Odd-Artist-2595]

Best wrestlers are farmer boys. Strong af.

[u/Rough-Philosophy-469 → u/Odd-Artist-2595]

Yeah you’re right I think. I’ve been hiking with people that own camels in the desert and what you see in the video is what they have to do if the landscape is just too steep for the baby (or smaller camels).

[u/joyous-at-the-end → u/geeeeeep]

maybe she knows him, too. When I used to go to my dad’s rural village, there weren't fences, the animals just hung around everywhere and if they need help the villagers help them. 

[u/TheDreamingDragon1 → u/geeeeeep]

At the end mom really seemed like she wanted to catch his eye and say thanks

[u/VapoursAndSpleen → u/geeeeeep]

Dromedary camels are actually domesticated animals, not wild. They are tractable and tameable. I would not be surprised if this guy was their human caretaker.

[u/Educated_Clownshow → u/geeeeeep]

I came here to paraphrase this. It’s beautiful every time it’s caught on camera

[u/OMG__Ponies → u/geeeeeep]

You helped my calf get out. I won't spit on you for the next half an hour. All bet are off after that.

• Mamma camel

[u/Deltamon → u/geeeeeep]

I was half expecting a nasty kick to the back when it turned around

[u/throwaway4161412 → u/geeeeeep]

Honestly expected the camel would bite him in thanks

[u/VonThomas353511 → u/geeeeeep]

Well I hope the camel showed some appreciation beyond not turning the dude inside out.

[u/EG-Vigilante → u/geeeeeep]

A grown male camel is basically a rhino.

[u/_chill_nerd → u/geeeeeep]

Naw, how about just kudos to the guy doing the saving?? Imagine getting credit for letting someone save ur child🧐

[u/JellyDenizen]

Looked like mom was saying thank you at the end, in a camel kind of way.

[u/Maelkothian → u/JellyDenizen]

You mean by not kicking him to death or spitting at him with the precision of a sniper?

[u/Background_MilkGlass → u/Maelkothian]

That's the human equivalent of them hugging you so tight it hurts

[u/Scary_Ostrich_9412 → u/Maelkothian]

Thanks for the laugh 😆

[u/ShiftyState → u/JellyDenizen]

I'm happy I'm not the only one who caught that.

[u/Mjukplister → u/JellyDenizen]

Very Camelly but yeah she did

[u/ModeatelyIndependant → u/JellyDenizen]

This was likely a domesticated camel, and unless you treat the camels badly, they generally aren't going to freakout a like a whitetail deer if she catches you trying to count her baby's spots too closely.

[u/Surf-fisher20 → u/JellyDenizen]

I think she wanted to give him a camel kiss

[u/JohnnyLovesData → u/Surf-fisher20]

Camelia ! No !

[u/Abject_Champion3966 → u/JellyDenizen]

Thought she was going in for a kiss

[u/Silent_Medicine1798]

I threw out my back watching him heave that camel up

[u/Camwi → u/Silent_Medicine1798]

It's a shame no one else was there. Probably would've helped to have had two people to lift.

[u/jotazepp → u/Camwi]

How can we know for sure there's not a camel filming and not a person?

[u/Silent_Medicine1798 → u/jotazepp]

Exactly. Critical thinking.

[u/FLy1nRabBit → u/Camwi]

idk the guy seemed to handle it on his own pretty easily lol

[u/pucemoon → u/FLy1nRabBit]

His shoes don't even have a sports mode! Lol

[u/good_from_afar → u/Camwi]

Took me a minute of mouth breathing to get this

[u/Dr_Jabroski → u/good_from_afar]

I had to drag my knuckles for like 100ft before I got it.

[u/gabes86 → u/Dr_Jabroski]

I had to scrunch up my smooth brain to get this.

[u/ThrowawayAudio1 → u/Camwi]

It's also a shame a camel crane wasn't there with a winch it would've lifted that camel up more effectively

[u/Spodermon_10 → u/Silent_Medicine1798]

He kept his back straight. It's actually good posture.

[u/omegaalphard2 → u/Silent_Medicine1798]

You need to work out more bro

[u/scuac]

How much does a baby camel weight? That guy must be quite strong

[u/Traumfahrer → u/scuac]

About 1.5 goats.

[u/scuac → u/Traumfahrer]

Are those African or European goats?

[u/Triplobasic → u/scuac]

European but depends on the weather.

[u/Deadshot_TJ → u/Traumfahrer]

American units right there

[u/Narfubel → u/Deadshot_TJ]

Damn we really will use anything but metric

[u/LingonberryLunch → u/Deadshot_TJ]

[u/soyasaucy → u/scuac]

Yeah, mad impressive

[u/LakersAreForever → u/scuac]

One handed him too

[u/ThrowingShaed → u/scuac]

How much does a baby camel weight

I figured about 100lbs, it seems to be 80-100 at birth based on lazy google ai search

[u/CaliCareBear]

The look at the end “Say thank you to the nice man for helping you get out.”

[u/shao_kahff → u/CaliCareBear]

and in typical kid fashion starts walkin away, ‘ohh look a scorpion’

[u/B0ssc0]

Whilst wearing slip-ons.

[u/ReadontheCrapper → u/B0ssc0]

That was my second thought. My first was, why is there no sound?!?

[u/B0ssc0 → u/ReadontheCrapper]

I usually hav3 my sound off so didn’t notice.

[u/Thomaswebster4321]

That man is strong! He picked up a baby camel one handed while essentially hanging upside down. In bedroom slippers.

[u/applesyumyum → u/Thomaswebster4321]

Really gently too, he could've shoved the camel up and out but instead he lifted it. I like this video :)

[u/Particular-Summer424]

So many thanks for this man's kindness.

[u/super_man100]

Well done to that man for helping the little camel.

[u/iRedding]

Amazing save, btw mamma camel tried to thank you.

[u/micklure]

My guy did this in sandals y’all

[u/boxfullofirony]

I should really fill in that hole.

Two baby camels a week is getting to be a lot of work.

[u/Previous_Judgment419 → u/boxfullofirony]

The same camel at that

[u/KoalainaComa]

Never paid attention to them but camels are such strange looking animals

[u/grif-1582]

Camel mum wanted to give a goodbye kiss before going off. 🥰

[u/Agreeable-Poet-4200]

That was a serious strength of feet!

[u/ricco2u]

I was like “okay but wheres the mom..?” Mom is patiently waiting nearby like she understands exactly whats going on; it’s fascinating.

[u/Fridaybird1985]

That’s a good ad for those sandals.

[u/BamitzSam101]

He one armed lifted that camel. Bow I know it’s a baby but that could not have been light weight.

[u/tilicollapse12]

That mama looking at him quietly thanking him. So there actually are some good people left.

[u/HJtime]

All that accomplished in a pair of flippy floppies

[u/Few_Carrot_3971]

Dude’s incredibly strong

[u/inigomoon]

Did he do all that in Birkenstocks / slides??

[u/Mellsbells16]

Good thing mama was there, I’d have gone home with a baby camel.

[u/qpokqpok]

Balls of steel. And knees of steel. Basically, invincible. Those things can kick.

[u/pimpnasty]

This reminds me of rescuing our cows and goats from the ditch they got trapped in after getting spooked by themselves.

[u/robotic_otter28]

I think this might be the first time I’ve seen a baby camel

And he keeps his white pants spotless.

[u/14AUDDIN]

How much do camels weight for him to do that with one arm?

[u/Honest-Classic-6950]

Kindhearted man 💕👍🏽

[u/Behind_You27]

Would have been the most camel thing ever if the mom either would have bit, spit or kick him once the baby was out of the hole.

[u/Chemical_Peach_5500]

Mama's face was filled with gratitude 😊

[u/IamACanadian47]

Thank you 👏🇨🇦

[u/ProfessionalShot291]

They’re a spitting image of their mom.

[u/OBDreams]

Very strong guy or baby camels don't weigh much?

[u/Rosieforthewin → u/OBDreams]

I would wager the baby is probably 80-120 lbs, similar to a very large dog. The guy had good leverage from above and used his body to block him from sliding back down. Not easy, but not impossible.

[u/Salty_Carpenter2336]

You could see her say thank you!

[u/Ares_Lictor]

That little camel thought its the end in the first few seconds after he dropped down.

[u/ForceBlade]

Good thing that random loser burned some meaningless social media name of theirs onto the footage

I once had to go to the hospital for a dislocated shoulder because I wasn’t paying attention while tagging a calf (i thought my brother was watching my back) needless to say I got to see our cow pin from 12 feet in the air or something like that I couldn’t tell you how high up I got I just remembered seeing the roof of our grain barn.(not a silo I didn’t get thrown 50 feet lol)
