horses


Fun facts about hoses are, they don’t actually sleep laying down they stand up.  What you call young male horses are colts and the young females are called fillies. A pretty cool thing to know about horses is they actually have 205 bones in their body. Wow.

Horses have the largest eyes, well the largest eyes of a mammal that we know of. Horses have a particular eye and they can see fairly well too. They can gallop up to the speed of 44kph and the fastest record of a horses speed was 88kph now that is amazing.
When a horse puts its upper lip and bares its teeth into a grin it may look like it is laughing but actually it is a nose enhancing technique and it is called “flehmen response”.



The reason they do this face is when they are trying to track down a sent in the air. So they are not laughing at you they are just seeing if you smell bad or not. Horses are herbivores. A famous horse is lady Suffolk; she was the first horse to beat the 2.5 minute mile.
 This is for krofty.
 
have a good day :) :)
