@jacob_desio: I recently found out a horses legs are giant middle fingers and I can’t stop thinking about it. All vertebrates have a common ancestor so we have the same bones but the placement is different depending on how it evolved for the individual need to traverse our environment. Horses ended up evolving to walk on giant fingers essentially #interesting #fact #wierd #todayilearned #animals

Westport.KC.Dude :

If you really want your mind blown, google “newborn horse hooves”.

Ramey Lene :

Us to horses.

jordynfire :

Horses be like

Be Natural Be Friendly :

So horses used to be a hand?

River <3 :

feels like a perfect place to share my art

severance🥓 :

Yeah we don’t have a common ancestor

razanne🥏 :

so like this??

CIA Meme Folder :

a horse is just one big hand

Paloma Impopular :

Moral of the story: horses have been giving us the middle finger all this time

Cameron :

And then here’s their hind leg like a foot

eDexter :

It never never evolved they all have the same creator

FilfWzrd :

Have you heard of the multiple horse theory?

Jacob :

the picture was only describing the bottom part of a horse leg. this is a better "human-to-horse" illustration, based on the pictures in the video:

So Horses are Hands ?

oyecisne :

When I run on my tippy toes imma feel wild and free

Kari 🌸 :

The little dry junk on the inside of their legs are toes that never went away , they just absorbed into the leg 🤣🤣🤣 crazy animals I love them

H :

this is such a poor surface level materialist interpretation. 'it's gross they're on their fingers' we share structural and developmental features, that's it. the form is clearly different and became something else, just because there are still 5 bones in order doesn't make it same thing anymore

LionMane 🏳️‍🌈 :

Horses use to have toes during early evolution and just evolved it into one giant toe.

That’s just the tip of the iceberg. Basically they evolved for one thing and one thing only: running away super fast. They are really good at running away super fast, but compromised pretty much everywhere else. They have no muscles in the lower limb, so they rely on a structure in the hoof called the frog to basically act as a secondary heart when they move. When they are galloping, they are not consciously moving their diaphragm like we do. Instead, with each stride their organs will against the diaphragm to force air out. In thoroughbreds, we have seen this cause bleeding from the lungs and bruising in the liver. And if they overload one limb for one reason or another, the hoof bone can literally disconnect from the hoof wall, rotate downwards, and penetrate the sole. There is no healing this. Also why they are usually put down if they fracture their leg. They cannot vomit, so anything that goes in must make its way through the digestive system, leading to stomach rupturing and colic. Oh, and they are obligate nasal breathers, so if their nasal passages get obstructed, it’s over (smash that subscribe button for more freaky horse facts)

all this evidence and people STILL don’t believe in evolution

Joe R779 :

Or we can also say human has 5 hooves on each hand.
