are you sure?


what about horses?

9/9/2011 10:00:28 PM

we're also the only ones that live long enough and are smart enough to engage in strength and conditioning training

consider scale... throw some ants in there

However, they are the only animals capable of running long distance. that run for no reason.

yeah what about horses

I guess if we train and condition them they can too

9/9/2011 10:03:55 PM

I'd argue that over long distance, horses trot instead of run

9/9/2011 10:04:57 PM

Pretty sure my dog runs for no reason all the time.

perhaps you meant farthest running animals?

9/9/2011 10:30:01 PM

what about birds that migrate? granted they fly instead of run but that's still fucking long term cardio

9/9/2011 10:31:49 PM

What about fish that swim?

9/9/2011 10:33:01 PM

sharkies swim constantly. They gots to regulate or die

9/9/2011 10:35:32 PM

we're talking about running here guys

9/9/2011 10:36:50 PM

humans run a marathon, they do not jog a marathon.

If I remember correctly, wolves can cover more than 40 miles in a day, and they damn sure don't do that walking.

9/9/2011 10:49:18 PM

40 miles in a day isn't that fast, duuuuuuuuuude

I'm gonna disagree with you, but only because I feel like being fucking difficult right now

9/9/2011 10:55:31 PM

Wait, did the hummingbird take off? Or did it just trip and get launched off the back?

9/9/2011 10:57:04 PM

\o

9/9/2011 10:57:50 PM

How about we narrow it down to bipedal running

9/9/2011 10:57:51 PM

the only 2 things i can thing of that run on 2 legs are humans and ostriches.......

and emus. can't forget about those

[Edited on September 9, 2011 at 10:59 PM. Reason : 3 things]

So were at least 4th among two legged runners, and when the ostrich becomes extinct we'll finally take the bronze

9/9/2011 11:02:25 PM

long distance, folks

discuss

9/9/2011 11:03:01 PM

Long distance is a bad idea if you ask me. You're just gonna want to bang other chicks while you're apart.

9/9/2011 11:04:13 PM

Well if we're taking all things in to consideration like flight and whatnot, we invented forms of long distance travel. Airplanes go over 500 mph and can outdistance any animal.

What's up with those eagles soaring so much? I don't know why they don't just sit in the tree and wait for a squirrel to run up to them. Instead they gotta fly around all day looking majestic and stuff and maybe swooping down on a fish or a mouse or your grandma's cat.

wild dogs hunt by running for fucking ever and waiting till their prey dies of butthurt
