Examples
 Horses
Horses have four long legs and long
flowy hair. They can come in a variety
of different colors. They are
herbivores. This means that they only
eat plants. Some horses can live to be
more than thirty years old. They are
herd animals. This means they like to
be part of a group instead of being on
their own. Horses were domesticated
over three thousand years ago. They are
not native to North America. They are
originally from the European
continent. Horses can sleep standing
up. They can also sleep laying down.
You can tell how old a horse is by
looking at its teeth. Their height is
measured in hands, which are about
four inches. Horses give birth to live
young. A baby horse is called a foal.
