Horse

The horse (Equus ferus caballus) is a domesticated. One-toed, hoofed animal with fur that feeds babies milk. It belongs to the taxonomic family Equidae and is one of two extant subspecies of Equus ferus.

The horse has evolved over the past 45 to 55 million years from a small multi-toed creature. Eohippus, into the large single-toed animal of today, originally in North America. Humans began domesticating horses around 4000 BCE in Central Asia, and their domestication is believed to have been widespread by 3000 BCE.

Horses in the subspecies caballus are domesticated. Although some domesticated populations live in the wild as feral horses. These feral populations are not true wild horses.

Which are horses that have never been domesticated. There is an very big, specialized vocabulary used to describe equine-related concepts. Covering everything from anatomy to life stages, size, colors, markings, breeds, locomotion, and behavior.

Horses are adapted to run, allowing them to quickly escape predators, and possess a good sense of balance and a strong fight-or-flight response. Related to this ability to flee from predators in the wild is an unusual trait: horses are able to sleep both standing up and lying down, with younger.
