What happens if it's not going to >> It doesn't have Baby ducks are called ducklings.
Discover five fascinating facts about these adorable creatures, revealing hidden aspects of their lives that you may not have known.
>> Welcome to Stio.
The first few days are crucial for ducklings and they imprint on the first moving objects they see. This is why it's important for ducklings to be raised with their mother or a trusted human companion. This imprinting ensures safety and survival as they will follow the object they imprinted on for food and protection.
Ducklings have an incredible sense of smell which helps them locate food and avoid predators.
They can detect even the slightest changes in their environment using their sensitive beaks.
This ability to smell and taste helps them find the best food sources and avoid potentially harmful substances.
Despite being born with limited swimming abilities, ducklings quickly learn to swim and become skillful in the water within a few days. They have webbed feet that are perfectly adapted for swimming and diving. Their natural instinct to swim helps them escape predators and find food.
Ducklings grow at an astonishing rate, maturing rapidly and becoming independent within a few weeks.
They learn essential skills like foraging, finding shelter, and avoiding predators. As they mature, their downey feathers transform into waterproof plumage, making them even more capable swimmers.
Ducklings have a unique language using a series of chirps, squeaks, and whistles to communicate with each other and their mother. This vocalizations are vital for social interactions, warning each other about danger, and staying together as a flock.
What is your favorite thing about ducklings?
Today we are learning about one of the most elegant, strong, and patient animals on Earth.
They've helped us pull heavy loads and even fought in wars. Without them, human history would look very different.
That's right. Today is all about horses.
Welcome to SP.
>> Did you know horses have a big family?
They belong to a group called ecquids.
This includes ponies, zebras, and even donkeys.
Here is an interesting fact. Most animals like cows have two toes on each foot. But ecquids are odd toad. They only have one single toe on each foot.
People often ask, "Is a pony just a baby horse?"
Nope. Ponies are their own thing. They are smaller, have shorter legs, and wider bodies. If a horse is shorter than 14.2 hands, about 148 cm, it's officially a pony.
Horses are measured in hands, not centimeters.
The biggest horse ever recorded was a massive 21 hands tall.
Horses are basically superheroes when it comes to their senses.
They have mega vision. A horse's eye is twice as large as a human's eye. It's actually bigger than an elephant's eye because their eyes are on the side of their head. They can see in almost every direction at once.
They have super hearing.
Horses have 16 muscles in each ear, allowing them to twist them around to hear predators.
They can even sense earthquakes before humans do.
Horses have an amazing brain power. Even though they are very smart, a horse's brain weighs only about half as much as a human brain.
The way a horse moves, it's called its gate.
While wild horses usually just walk or gallop, domestic horses are trained to do four specific moves.
Walk, which is slow and steady.
Trot, which is a little bouncy.
Caner, this is a smooth rocking motion.
And gallop, which is super fast.
The fastest wild ecid is the onager, a type of wild donkey which can run a whopping 78 km an hour. That's faster than a car in the city.
Check out those feet. A horse's hoof is made of keratin, the exact same stuff your fingernails are made of.
Since horses often run on hard roads, they need shoes. A person called a frier trims the hoof and nails on a metal shoe. Does it hurt? You may ask. Not at all. It's just like you getting a haircut or clipping your nails.
It takes about a whole year for a horse to grow a completely new hoof.
Baby horses are called foes.
Boys are called cold.
And girls are called phies.
Fos are amazing. They can stand up and walk just a few hours after they are born.
They live in groups called herds led by one male called a stellion.
Horses are very loyal and communicated by winging, nuzzling, and even using their ears. If their ears are pointed backward, watch out. They might be scared or grumpy.
If you think you eat a lot, listen to this. A wild horse can spend 20 hours a day eating.
A grazing horse takes about 30,000 bites in a single day. They are fussy eaters and use their flexible top lips to pick out the best grass.
Some plants like redwood or oak leaves are poisonous to them. So horse owners or farmers have to keep their fields clean.
Owning a horse is a big responsibility.
You have to muck out. That's a fancy way of saying cleaning up their poop, which actually makes great fertilizer for gardens.
You also have to do their grooming by brushing their coat to keep it glossy and healthy.
Finally, you'll have to do some teching up, which means putting on their equipment like the saddle for sitting and the bridal for steering.
Beyond these chores, ownership involves daily feeding and haying, providing constant access to fresh water, checking for injuries, and ensuring they get plenty of exercise.
From their giant eyes to their keratin hooves, horses are truly magnificent creatures. They can even sleep standing up. If you had a horse, what would you name it? And would it be a horse or a pony?

Welcome to St. Ducks are adorable and almost friendly creatures.
If they see you with food, they'll follow you or even peck at you.
Ducks are birds and they are found everywhere except Antarctica.
While they are in the same family as swans and geese, ducks are smaller and have shorter necks.
Ducks are mostly aquatic birds, which means that they live on or around water and are found in both fresh and sea water.
Ducks have been domesticated as pets and farm animals for more than 500 years and are used for their feathers, eggs, and meat.
Male ducks are called drakes.
Female ducks are called hens.
Baby ducks are called ducklings.
It takes 26 to 35 days for a duckling to hatch.
A group of ducks is called a paddling.
Ducks are amazing animals with a lot of unique capabilities.
Find out more about these creatures with this 15 fascinating and fun duck facts.
Ducks are outgoing, social animals who feel most at ease when they are in a larger group of other ducks. These groups are called rafts or teams.
Ducks can live up to 20 years depending on the species and if well cared for.
All ducks have highly waterproof feathers. A duck's feathers are so waterproof that even when the duck dives underwater, the downy under layer of feathers right next to the skin will stay completely dry.
Ducks are omnivores and will eat grass, aquatic plants, insects, seeds, fruit, and small fish among other types of food.
Ducks fly in a Vshape. This shape makes flying easier.
Most duck species only have one partner at a time, but they do not often mate for life. Instead, they will seek out new mates each year, choosing the healthiest, strongest, best mate who can help them pass on their genes to a new duckling generation.
Did you know that the production of duck eggs is affected by daylight? When there is more daylight, the ducks will lay more eggs. This is why farmers use artificial lighting so that the ducks have around 17 hours of light a day to produce eggs efficiently.
Ducks have accents. City ducks have a different accent than country ducks, which is typically louder.
Ducklings communicate before hatching.
Ducklings, like other water fowl, learn to communicate with each other in the eggs and try to hatch at the same time.
Ducklings younger than 10 days tend to swim and walk as a group, always close to their mother to avoid the attack of predators.
Ducks have great vision.
Ducks have exceptional visuals and can see finer detail at farther distances than humans.
Ducks also have great eyes and they can move each eye independently.
Ducks can see well underwater.
They use their sight to hunt underwater and this is one of the ways they feed and look for food for their young ones.
Ducks also have a furred eyelid, more like swimming goggles or contact lenses, which makes it possible for them to squint and see clearly underwater.
Ducks can sleep with one eye open. This allows them to watch for predators while they slumber.
Duck bills are very sensitive and have many touch receptors making them similar to our fingertips and palms.
Some people are scared of ducks. The fear of ducks is called anatidophobia.
