What are these hoses and why do they look like this? Are these vacuum hoses?

Maybe a little explanation will help. Axles heat up and cool down, so they need to breath so pressure doesn't build up and cause oil leaks, and vacuum doesn't build up when we drive into the pond and water sucks in. The tube's ends are placed up high so we can ford mighty streams and still keep the water out.

The transfer case breather hose on my D1 slipped off the firewall and fell against the exhaust manifold - the breather hose is plastic and it was melted closed - pressure built up in the transfer case and blew the gear oil out though the seals subsequently causing the transfer case to self-destruct from a lack of lubrication as I was driving on the highway. Good times
