Standardbred horse survival wilderness

[Bacchus]

 Question could the standardbred Species Survive on their own if left let’s say in the West where the mustangs are.  I assume so as if the forefathers of the Mustangs did it so can they.

[Equus Caballus]

No

Most domesticated animals
INCLUDING MOST HUMANS
would die within days of being in the wild

Give me a break  <>  Haven't you ever watched CBS - SURVIVOR  ?

And that movie with Tom Hanks and Wilson

you need to understand that over time humans have weakened their immune systems
we live in a very sterile environment
immunizations antibiotics etc

also we are the only animals that prep our food
we are weakening our digestive system
we pre make food to be ready to digest
that doesnt exist in the wild

did you know short neck giraffe gene still exist
ever wonder why you dont see a short neck giraffe?
the short neck ones die because they live in the wild and arent supported
they cant support themselves

now compare that to humans with disabilities
its an unfortunate example
but its the harsh reality
in the wild people who become disabled or that are disabled would eventually not be able to make it

This isn't remotely true.

Sorry, I don't take health advice from fat old guys.

Sorry.

Total bullshit.Fake news.

The giraffe genome has been adapting for 11.5 million years-to what you see today. The story you read about the giraffe "adapting" to its environment so it can reach leaves high in trees-is wrong. Didnt happen. Read and learn

Oh--and the "wild" mustangs out west--all are descendants of escaped domesticated horses.

Go to Mongolia-if you want to see "real" wild horses that were never domesticated.

You must also believe in god

You must also believe in god

I believe in facts and Science.

Im also thankful of our latest President Trump--like him or hate him-one thing thats its shown-is NOT to believe ANYTHING you read until you have thoroughly investigated it yourself from non biased factual sources.

Your Giraffe example is one of those-do yourself a favor and research it yourself. Not in "theories"-but actual scientific facts -gene mutations.

[Powerful Patricks Ghost]

Bond is correct. Even if the supposed "short" neck gene existed, lots of genes do. The human genome has countless genes in its DNA that are dormant and/or junk. As with Giraffes and most other wild species, the most important features to inherit are primarily sexual in nature, then defensive. Long necked Giraffes likely are that way because it was a positive sexual predictor, not because of the ability to eat food high up. "Short necked" Giraffes don't exist because they didn't have enough chance to reproduce successfully.


Also, regarding your "humans would be dead in a matter of days" claim. This is patently false. Given a source of potable water, the average human can easily survive 15-30 days without food. More if you have excess adipose. Further, wild doesn't mean without food sources. A person could likely find enough calories from lower order creatures to supply some sustenance.

Approximately 15 years ago, there were 3 Standardbreds that were abandoned on a 50 acre farm in Florida with a stream on the property. They were rescued 5 years later all in pretty good condition.
