The Coldblooded: A Documentary on the Evolution of Reptiles

Cold blooded horses are not horses that do things in cold blood. These horses instead have the reputation of being true gentle giants and being very mellow in temperament. So why are they called coldblooded?

A coldblooded horse type is a category that most draft breeds fall into. A coldblooded horse is usually very tall, wide, and strong and can be found doing farm work, pulling carriages, and more. These horses have a reputation for being gentle giants that do well with amateurs and children. These horses are typically used for pulling carriages and plows and not for riding although there are some that are used as riding horses.

All of these breeds carry the same characteristics over as they are all coldblooded breeds. These horses have feathers on their feet (feathers are what the long hair on their lower legs is called), and are used mainly in farm work and carriage pulling.

Typically the Clydesdale is the biggest of all the coldblooded breeds, but the tallest horse in the world currently is a horse named Big Jake who is a Belgian Draft Horse, not a Clydesdale. Big Jake stands at almost 20.3 hands high making his withers reach to nearly seven feet tall!

We know that the world was generally hot and steamy during the Triassic Period, which preceded the extinction, and during the following Jurassic, which kicked off the age of dinosaurs. However, a new study turns the idea of heat-loving dinosaurs on its head: It presents the first physical evidence that Triassic dinosaur species -- then a minor group largely relegated to the polar regions -- regularly endured freezing conditions there. The telltale indicators: dinosaur footprints along with odd rock fragments that only could have been deposited by ice. The study's authors say that during the extinction, cold snaps already happening at the poles spread to lower latitudes, killing off the coldblooded reptiles. Dinosaurs, already adapted, survived the evolutionary bottleneck and spread out. The rest is ancient history.

The coldblooded murder of helpless wounded and unarmed prisoners was done by the express and explicit order of Santa Anna, the head of the government. What did it prove? Except to confirm just how right the Texans had been to revolt against such absolute power in which the lives of individuals counted for so very little. 2ff7e9595c
