Zoo Tycoon is the best! Although I still fret markhors, those bastards on hooves were never satisfied with their habitats.

That was pretty forward thinking to have named him "Old Billy" when he was born.
acerox15
I have a horse who's registered name is Ol' Lady Express. She's 21 now, so I guess it's worked out for her.

The amount of fluid weight a racehorse loses would be dependent on whether he/she ran on Lasix or not...just sayin'

The horse on the KY state quarter is a quarter horse? I wonder what the other 3/4 is.
hunterjumper18
It's actually a thoroughbred, not a quarter horse. But I get what your aiming at ;)
ShesThePerfectCombinationOfSexyAndCute
The average horse has 4 legs.
blackletum
This made me snort. +1 for you, good sir or madam.
Spidey209
The average number of legs on a horse is less than 4

iwantapetsquirrel
how much glue do they make?
rembear
If horses and zebras can breed to make zorses, does that mean humans and chimps could produce viable offspring? Being more closely related?
SClipD
Read this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humanzee#Feasibility it covers both horses and apes.
rembear
Possible? Yes. Ethical? Not really.
Casnchaos
We shall call them Chimans
rembear
Apparently wikipedia calls them Humanzees.
Casnchaos
Thanks for the research topic to entertain me during work
rembear
Glad to have helped :)
SweetMotherOfHades
I often wonder what life would be like from the perspective of someone who isn't obsessed with horses...
lovemeinfocus
Me too. Then I shudder at the thought of not having horses in my life.
SweetMotherOfHades
Fair enough. BUT I would probably have enough moolah to get me through the rest of university 5 times over...
lovemeinfocus
That I can't argue with...the emergency vet bill I paid this week was scary D:
AlligatorsGonnaAlligate
This is so beautiful, I always wondered if there was a horse community on imgur anywhere. WE ARE SMALL BUT WE ARE MIGHTY
mongolohin
Everyone in Mongolia dislikes Przewalski because he "found" a horse in Mongolia and named it after himself although it already had a name.
rebel1031
Honest question from a horse person......what was it called before Przewalski got all up in it?
mongolohin
It is written Takhi but pronounced like Taikh. The ai is a very short sound, though. And the kh is pronounced as the hhhhh sound.
rebel1031
And this....this sort of thing is why the internet is the greatest thing of all time. Am an Arkie/USA sitting here learning from you. TY.
rebel1031
Thank you. Does the word Takhi mean something I would recognize in American? Not trying to be insensitive. Again...honest question.
mongolohin
No, it is just the Mongolian name for the horse. It has no actual meaning in Mongolian nor English. I recommend you also look up Khulan. :)

The horse on the Kentucky quarter is a Thoroughbred racehorse, not a Quarter horse...
Agouti
Pretty much every "fact" here is wrong.

I'm glad someone else pointed this out!

Horse Fact: A horse can not vomit.
DefinitelyNotAnAssassinHidingInAHaybale
this is why Colic is so bad :(
NotACanadian
Sometimes they can.
wildflowerhippie
any time a horse has vomit looking substance coming from its mouth means that it is actually choking
NotACanadian
Well, I don't know anything about horses, but I read about this one time where a horse vomited out its stomach contents and got better
wildflowerhippie
I doubt the story was real lol
NotACanadian
I also heard of this one horse that could speak English if you put peanut butter in his mouth or something.
Warmblood
Neither can rats, strangely enough.
Dispari
Neither can rabbits.

Horse Fact: Horses are expensive. Another horse fact: My wife's horse is a jerk.
HighFivesAlot
I imagine you being drunk and walking to the stable just to stare at the horse and say "you're a fucker, fucker..." all drunk n shit.
whyamisticky
I audibly laughed....
CatsIsTheAnswer
I hope you can solve this for me: is it true that horses can drown from their anus? I heard this sometimes and always wondered.
FreedomAndChaos
...wut?
merlek
But they can loose the sense of balance form getting water into the ears.
otfbeacon
Yes, it is true that horses can drown from their anus, as long as they are in a sufficiently small container and have very severe diarrhea.
Hellofromnz
....No. And where the hell did you hear that
CatsIsTheAnswer
A guy said it once, and nobody objected. I got curious and looked on the internet, and found out it is a very common belief, but no answers.
CatsIsTheAnswer
Fun fact: search for italian translation of "horse drown anus" and you'll find relevant results. Search it in english and eugh.
PleaseTrollResponsibly
Clearly the answer to this riddle is "cats"
Ioughttobestudying
I'm not sure what you mean by this.. but horses can colic. They can't physically vomit, so.. when things get backed up, they get very sick.
acerox15
In my personal experience (owned and helped vet for years), no. I go swimming with mine during the summer and there aren't any issues...
acerox15
And I always thought drowning was technically asphyxiation on water in the lungs... Hard to get water there from the anus.
IdownvotePeopleWhoComplainAboutDownvoters
Worth a shot. Igor, bring ze gloves and power up ze lab!
KeepRight
well, it's about as true as 90% of the crap the OP posted...
aselfdefeatingattitude
Horses like carrots and also sometimes when you pat them and say "atta girl" it doesn't even matter if they're boys.
hunterjumper18
We've had a few horses come through our barn that hate carrots as well...and a pony who hates apples and non-puff peppermints.
SteepedGardenMrsChen
I want this to be top comment
TGYOLO
thank you
Ioughttobestudying
My horse hates carrots. He likes peppermints, pringles and crusts of bread.
Hauntingsound
Does he at least pay half the rent?
DefinitelyNotAnAssassinHidingInAHaybale
horses and their peppermints! my pony loves them too.
DylanIsChillin
The 4th one is wrong. Horses don't have the largest eyes of any land animal. They do have the largest eye of any land Mammal though.
OzaiR2k
I thought so.
CoachAlex
According to this site which I can in no way verify, Elephants are tied with horses but Moose win. http://www.noadi.net/EyeSizes.html
Jewishua
So, you're saying the 4th one is horseshit?
recklessrodent
And what about elephants? You telling me horses have bigger eyes than elephants? I find that hard to believe, sir
Turrethugger
Probably means eye to head ratio or something :>?
ZeldasChampion
They do. Its true.
CoachAlex
According to this site, they are exactly the same: http://www.noadi.net/EyeSizes.html
Eneicia2012
And a moose has a bigger eye than a horse.
wildflowerhippie
Horse does have largest..
Noavacadosorpeanuts
is this in absolute terms or ratios?
DylanIsChillin
Absolute. I'm sure if we were talking ratios it would be an insect or arachnid.
Noavacadosorpeanuts
huh :/ never would have thought that a horse would have bigger eyes than an elephant
DylanIsChillin
The biggest eyes are actually ostriches (which are barely bigger than humans).
DylanIsChillin
Oh said "animals" not creatures. Anyways ya still absolute.
catsonmeth
Are you retarded
sp4cepope
insects are animals
idlefan
What is the difference between animals and creatures?
anythinganything
who has the largest eye of any land animal then?
vindikus
C'thun
CuriousCowgirl
Elephant is all i can think of.
anythinganything
also mammals
CuriousCowgirl
And they are mammals... Idk what it could be.
DrShoe
Maybe this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Jz0JcQYtqo
DrClaraOswinOswald
This just proportional. I think they meant total size.
DrShoe
Yeah, I know. I first commented, then watched it again. Still, though: no regrets!
