Did You Know ? horses have 2 lungs like us

VERNETTA: horses have 2 lungs like us
MAGNUSON: They are the same as us - two lungs.
SIN: horses,,,like us have two lungs,,,if they only have one,,,they might not be able to get all the oxygen they need,,,
MANSELL: they have two 'lungs' each side/lung with seperate lobes, the right side having more lobes due to more space in the thoratic cavity.....
VICKNAIR: Horses have two lungs and Colic is not a lung complaint.
DIBELLA: Horse's instestines are long and can become tangled easily.
HAMILTON: The digestive process involves the production of gas through fermentation, and gas can fill loops in the intestine which if then tangled causes a blockage.
EVENS: You are right, unlike humans the horse can?t vomit to rid itself of unsuitable material.
COSENTINO: As a grazing animal a horse is used to a gentle, regular feeding pattern throughout the year, getting fat when suitable pasture is abundant, getting thin when it isn?t.
HAGA: As a quick moving animal with lots of stamina a horse can travel long distances to find the necessary diet variety it needs to thrive - but because we (humans) confine them to one area, then they are unable to travel these distances for different grazing.
KINDRA: More than one lung?
LOWN: This is ridiculous!
PIERCE: Horses have 2 lungs, just like us. When they have Colic it is life threatening because they simply can't throw up, therefore they have no way of getting rid on the poison if it is poison caused.
GATLING: One lung? All mammals have two lungs. The only creatures that dont have two lungs or highly developed second lung are snakes.
MORGAN: two and i thought that iwas dumb please tell me r u a blonde?
ECKENRODE: lol. im just joking dont take it personaly im gust f@#*ing around.lol
KIMBELL: They have 2
UNDERHILL: Horses do have two lungs, they have all the same bones and organs that people do, except no collarbone. (or appendix?)
TULLEY: They can't vomit because the epiglottis won't allow it, so anything bad they ate has to go all the way through and go whatever damage it's going to.
LINGER: They also cannot breathe through the mouth, epiglottis shape again- they can whinny through the mouth but can't really breathe in through the open mouth.
SHAWANNA: Horses can choke, but it's in just the same way as for people. Something too big can get caught in the throat and damage the trachea.
