  1. HORSES BOND WITH A FRIEND<\/strong>

    Every horse chooses a best friend within its herd. Horses have a real need for social contact. For this reason, horses that live in stables are able to develop a truly special relationship with their owner. <\/li>
  2. MEMORIA DA\u2026ELEFANTE<\/strong>
    I cavalli hanno una memoria molto attiva. Ricordano luoghi, persone e circostanze. Lo conferma anche uno studio condotto dall\u2019etologo Sankey, dell\u2019universit\u00e0 di Rennes, e pubblicato sulla rivista Animal Behaviour. Questi imponenti animali sembra infatti che abbiano tante capacit\u00e0, tra cui quella di ricordare le persone che si sono mostrate amichevoli, mostrando a loro modo una forma di riconoscenza <\/li>
  3. THEY SPEAK WITH THEIR EARS<\/strong>

    Thanks to a study conducted by the University of Sussex in Great Britain and published in the journal Current Biology, it has been scientifically proven for the first time that these animals use their ears and eyes in a rather sophisticated and complex way.<\/p><\/li>

  4. DELIVERY ROOM<\/strong><\/p>Within minutes of birth, the foal is able to stand up and, in the wild, flee in case of danger. The herd forms a protective circle around it to prevent it from immediately putting itself in danger. Another interesting aspect is that the other females in the herd look after the foal until the mother has fully recovered her strength <\/li>

  5. THEY DON’T ALWAYS SLEEP STANDING UP<\/strong> <\/li>
  6. IT IS CURIOUS<\/strong> <\/li>
  7. THEY CANNOT VOMIT<\/strong> <\/li>
  8. SUPER VISTA
    <\/strong>Non \u00e8 un super potere, ma una scocciatura. In pratica i cavalli, avendo la possibilit\u00e0 di vedere con ogni occhio un raggio di 340\u00b0, vedono due immagini diverse che vengono inviate a due differenti parti del cervello. Praticamente, vivono contemporaneamente due realt\u00e0 che differiscono di alcuni gradi di prospettiva. Il cavallo ci vede come delle specie di giganti..abbiate pazienza e dolcezza con lui<\/li>
  9. THEY DON’T LAUGH, THEY SMELL<\/strong> <\/li>
  10. IT IS<\/em> METEOROPATHIC<\/strong>
    Shortly before a storm or wind, horses become nervous, restless and aggressive. When living in the wild, horses live in herds and, if adverse weather conditions are imminent, the lower-ranking members of the herd will position themselves in a circle around the higher-ranking ones.

    The horses will form a circle with their backs to the wind, and the less important members of the group and those who are weaker and occupy marginal positions within the hierarchy will stand on the outside so that those who occupy a central role and a higher rank in the hierarchy can be protected from the elements by the bodies of the others. <\/p><\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
