Horses were tiny back then
Okay but why is the first one on the right?
Well, it’s in sequence from the current one to the previous ones. We traced backwards through time.
wait they were so cute
Miniature horses are a thing today
Miss you with the greatest passion
Why the troll face at the bottom
Who tf came up with those names?
Greek speakers, mostly
Equus is latin but the rest are greek from what I can tell
Then there’s the recent wussification of horses, from wild western horses that’d charge around carrying gun toting hoodlums of all sorts, to the present day where they clop slowly along the road where you have to pass wide and slow on the offchance that you’ll totally freak them out.
Even military horses aren’t much better. A pile of bricks fell over in London a few weeks ago and a bunch of guards’ horses threw their riders and galloped across the city in blind panic. I bet the ones that carry those dual timps are taking the right piss out of them back at the stables.
Equus
If you’ve ever lived with a bird, you know the size waned but the terror only grew
I love both of mine, but damn do they not quit hahaha
Gotta remind you they’re dinosaurs.
except for pidgeons, who are entirely satisfied with the development and demand more seeb and scritches
I’ll accept that. The exception that proves the rule. Never met a pigeon that I didn’t like
Lol I was expecting this to be the last panel
Avenging their ancestors.

I think about this when I see kiwi birds running and doing mighty kiwi roars at the sky.
“Evolution was so scared of me it made me flightless to avoid global annihilation.”

Behold the Kiwi, true heir to the throne of the dinosaurs!
I appreciate the redirect. My Northern-hemisphere search only found the peep-peep calls. That vid there is a final warning to his foes.
Omg thank you this. The way it runs away with its hands in its pockets afterwards.
Most of the big guys died off while the little guys flourished. Being big and requiring more energy to survive is not necessarily better.

Or the hatched ones.
Evolution means “Survival of the fittest”. In English we use “Fit” when we mean strong or enduring. This is very wrong in the scientific context where the word originates.
same word, multiple meaning.
How I hated them in ark…
