Horses are individuals, and they're going to require horses are people, too. So we ga sort they have to be fed and managed and trained differently based on their personality. And one thing is true about horses, their back does not coil. It basically stays flat, relative to what you see a greyhound do, or cheat a do. Should we instead be breeding them to run as fast as they could actually do coil? They just flex so much if we don't look at the outside. As you can im tarkiret for joe i'm gonna end this segment with some more horse talk.
Say it with us: mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell. On this episode, Neil deGrasse Tyson and co-hosts Chuck Nice and Gary O’Reilly discover the original horse power, equine physiology, and the science behind the Kentucky Derby.
