$\begingroup$ This does depend on how much crap they have to carry, humans have amazing endurance but make awful pack animals. $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ I'm 69. I recently did 120 km in 6 days over rugged mountain trail with a 45 lb pack. Few horses can carry 1/4 of their weight on a day in day out basis. When I was younger 60 lb pack, and longer days. Don't discount the human pack animal. It's just more of the weight is for their own comfort. $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ whereas a pack horse can carry 300lbs and an ox can carry almost a ton. An ant can carry 10 times its body weight percentage is less important than total carriable weight. $\endgroup$
