Inside Nature's Giants

[cpo]

Did anyone watch this the other day? I recorded it and have just watched it. Very interesting watch as it was on Thoroughbred horses. I had never thought of how amazing these animals are until now! I suppose I have never actually thought of how they can move so fast with them weighing so much until watching them dissect a horse and show you every part of the horse that allows them to move so fast. Their lungs and hearts are massive which allow them to take in ridiculous amounts of oxygen per second. Also showed you how a horse that has trouble with breathing can really hinder its chances of winning and how a breathing operation can solve this problem. I am blabbing on here and am not doing the programme justice but would definitely recommend watching it. Apologies if you guys have already talked about it!

Re: Inside Nature's Beasts Watched it with my jaw on the floor! They really are amazing specimens and very under-appreciated. Anyone who hasn't looked, should. Link - Inside Nature's Giants - The Racehorse
