Ever wonder why we aren't all riding around on zebras? And why did only certain animals become man's hamburger, man's best friend, and man's trusty steed?

Tune in and find out why our ancestors never successfully domesticated animals like the hippo, cheetah, buffalo, deer, elephant, and zebra.

  • where is episode 2??wtf..can anyone tell me where??

  • @mulalamuhaha Type in "Why don't we ride zebras?" Episode 1...continued" to the Youtube Search bar and it will take you to the conclusion.

  • Again, this is a film based on a chapter in Jared Diamond's book, "Guns, Germs and Steel". The film is a kid's documentary explaining why only certain animals could be domesticated before modern times. Zebras can be domesticated today, but people who didn't didn't have modern technology (i.e. metal fences, sedatives, etc), found the species as a whole too ill tempered to be successfully domesticated.

  • this guy's a prick

  • @Austin17070 thanks! I thought so too!

  • animal lovers don't understand how delicate deer are. they rather them be transported than eaten if they are over populated.

  • this makes our ancestors looks like super retards

  • actually, zebras have been domesticated for about 200 years. I know several people who ride them without trouble. Horses are just like zebras in tempermant if they are wild. It just goes away through domestication and a couple hundred years of breeding.

  • horses can get meaner
