Since time immemorial, Homo sapiens had trained animals to assist in taming nature and its environment.
Significantly, the camel, known famously as The Ship of the Desert, has been used by man to transport goods in the desert regions
of the world and today, this beast of burden is still be used for the purpose.
The camel is hardy and go for days without food nor water.
The horse is the next beast of burden which has been greatly exploited throughout the world, notably in the opening up of America
and is still being used today usefully.
Even an engine is rated with a given horsepower to measure its capacity to drive a vehicle.
Water buffaloes are trained from the wild species to cultivate rice fields throughout East Asia and so are the bullocks used
to haul carts as well the utilization of donkeys and mules as familiar beasts of burden throughout the Middle East.
In South America, the indispensable Ilmas are used to carry burdens on their backs for the American Indians.
In China today, the authorities are using monkeys or short-tailed macaques to climb trees near Beijing's airport so that they
could, on command by the handlers, destroy bird-nests which would not be a danger to planes flying for the airshow during
the coming Victory Parade.
Apart from the trained macaques, Saker falcons and harriers are so trained and employed to get rid of high flying birds in
order to reduce the danger of collision with jet planes during the Victory Parade in Beijing.
