Horses have been called the noblest of creatures, and it’s easy to see why.
#1 Horses have the largest eyes of any land mammal.
#2 Horses can run within hours after birth.
#3 When horses look like they’re laughing, they’re actually engaging in a special nose-enhancing technique known as “flehmen,” to determine whether a smell is good or bad.
#4 At one time people thought horses were colorblind. They’re not, though they are better at seeing yellows and greens than purples and violets.
#5 A horse’s teeth take up a larger amount of space in their heads than their brains.
#6 Horse hooves are made from the same protein that comprises human hair and fingernails.
