Horses have more than two speeds. They can walk, trot, gait, gallup.
- matthew-wegner 2y agoI guess the precise definition would be most ungulates, but not migratory ungulates? > Although not extensively studied in non-humans, endurance running is unique to humans among primates, and uncommon among quadrupedal mammals other than social carnivores (such as dogs and hyenas) and migratory ungulates (such as wildebeest and horses) Anyway I was attempting a clumsy metaphor to aid someone's understanding, not trying to be pedantic. It's easiest to compare sprinting and not-sprinting.
