2. Classification
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Mammalia
The Horse is a single-hooved (ungulate) mammal belonging to the Subclass: Theria
taxonomic family Equidae. The horse has evolved over the past Infraclass: Eutheria
45 to 55 million years from a small multi-toed creature into the
large, single-toed animal of today. Horses in the subspecies Order: Perissodactyla
caballus are domesticated, although some domesticated Family: Equidae
populations live in the wild as feral horses. These feral Genus: Equus
populations are not true wild horses, as this term is used to
describe horses that have never been domesticated, such as the Species: E. ferus
endangered Przewalski’s Horse, a separate subspecies, and the Subspecies: E. f. caballus
only remaining true wild horse.
The horses' anatomy enables them to make use of speed to escape predators and they have a well-
developed sense of balance and a strong fight or flight instinct. Related to this need to flee from
predators in the wild is an unusual trait: horses are able to sleep both standing up and lying down.
gestation lasts for approximately 335–340 days and usually results in one foal, twins are rare in
horses. Horses are a precocial species, and foals are capable of standing and running within a short
time following birth.
Horses are herbivores with a digestive system adapted to a forage diet of grasses and other plant
material, consumed steadily throughout the day. Therefore they have a relatively small stomach but
very long intestines to facilitate a steady flow of nutrients.
