  2. Equine vision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equine_vision

    Equine vision. The equine eye is one of the largest of any land mammal. [1] Its visual abilities are directly related to the animal's behavior; for example, it is active during both day and night, and it is a prey animal. Both the strengths and weaknesses of the horse's visual abilities should be taken into consideration when training the ...

    A horse's eye. The horse has one of the largest eyes of all land mammals. [25] Eye size in mammals is significantly correlated to maximum running speed as well as to body size, in accordance with Leuckart's law; animals capable of fast locomotion require large eyes. [26] The eye of the horse is set to the side of its skull, consistent with that ...

  4. Respiratory system of the horse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Respiratory_system_of_the_horse

    Respiration rate of the horse. An adult horse has an average rate of respiration at rest of 12 to 24 breaths per minute. [3] Young foals have higher resting respiratory rates than adult horses, usually 36 to 40 breaths per minute. [3] Heat and humidity can raise the respiration rate considerably, especially if the horse has a dark coat and is ...

  5. Visual acuity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_acuity

    A reference value above which visual acuity is considered normal is called 6/6 vision, the USC equivalent of which is 20/20 vision: At 6 metres or 20 feet, a human eye with that performance is able to separate contours that are approximately 1.75 mm apart. [9] Vision of 6/12 corresponds to lower performance, while vision of 6/3 to better ...

  6. Brain–body mass ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain–body_mass_ratio

    Thus, large whales have very small brains compared to their weight, and small rodents like mice have a relatively large brain, giving a brain-to-body mass ratio similar to humans. [4] One explanation could be that as an animal's brain gets larger, the size of the neural cells remains the same, and more nerve cells will cause the brain to ...

    Therefore, compared to humans, they have a relatively small stomach but very long intestines to facilitate a steady flow of nutrients. A 450-kilogram (990 lb) horse will eat 7 to 11 kilograms (15 to 24 lb) of food per day and, under normal use, drink 38 to 45 litres (8.4 to 9.9 imp gal; 10 to 12 US gal) of water.

  8. Field of view - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_of_view

    For example, binocular vision, which is the basis for stereopsis and is important for depth perception, covers 114 degrees (horizontally) of the visual field in humans; [8] the remaining peripheral ~50 degrees on each side [7] have no binocular vision (because only one eye can see those parts of the visual field). Some birds have a scant 10 to ...

    Hippopotamus. The hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibius) (/ ˌhɪpəˈpɒtəməs /; pl.: hippopotamuses; , also shortened to hippo (pl.: hippos), further qualified as the common hippopotamus, Nile hippopotamus, or river hippopotamus, is a large semiaquatic mammal native to sub-Saharan Africa.
