    Did you know only cats, camels and giraffes walk two left feet, then two right feet? All other animals walk front left and rear right, then front right and rear left.

    There's are term for each type of walk, but I don't remember what they are.

    I've noticed giraffes seem rather "stiff necked" looking when they move, now I know why. Must be large bones, those 7!

    HEHE yes I knew that about the walking ( I dig giraffes so I found that out in story about them )

    The neck bones btw are 10 inches each, and humans have 7 neckbones also.

    Did you know that Dolphins are voluntary breathers? meaning they can never truly sleep? They have to choose to breathe, sleep would put them at risk of asphyxiation!

    Wow! That's amazing about the dolphins! I could never imagine a life without sleep. I wonder if some dolphins are like "I don't wanna breath! I'm sick of breathing!" lol.

    Did you know that there are no true albino horses in the world (white coat, pink skin, pink eyes) because for some reason it is lethal to horses.
    If there is such a horse, its ither still born or dies within two weeks. There is also a LWS (lethal white syndrome) aswell, common genetic disorder mainly with American Paint Horses. born all white and has a non functioning colin( extracts water from feases).

    Also True white horses are rare! a horse with white coat and pink skin is a true white and they usually have blue eyes or brown eyes.
    Also one more fact about horse coat color!

    True black horses are uncommon but not rare! there are two types, non-fading black and fading black. fading black horses fade to a brownish color when normally expsed to sunlight on rebular basis, and non fading have like a blueish black coat. visually you can tell the difference between a true black horse, and a dark bay or dark brown horse because a true black horse does not have fine brown hair around the muzzle and eyes.
