Wonder Time

This week question was  "HOW do horses sleep?"
Some friends thought that horses lay down on the ground that is a true. But usually horses sleep standing up. There legs lock in place to keep the animal from falling over. Friends were right! Horses can lie down, but because they are heavy,l it takes a lot of energy for them to get back up.  We should not try to sleep standing up because our knees do not lock, and we will probably fall over!

Fun Fact! Do you know how long it takes a baby horse to learn to walk after being born? An hour! How long it takes a human baby?
