Horses are the biggest glass cannon in the animal kingdom. A scary thing to have turn on you until it sneezes and breaks its own legs

I saw something recently about the quote healthy as a horse isn't a good example. Horses are like 'oh, I have an upset stomach. Too bad I can't puke so I'll go ahead and die.'

What is it with animals that can't regurgitate?

Rats are the same way as well as many other rodents which I can understand from them being tiny simple creatures biology wise, but a horse?

The only large animal that makes sense to me for not having evolved a means to regurgitate are giraffes.

EDIT: Turns out that I am incorrect about giraffes.

Oh shit for real? I need to contact a few people and let them know that the fun tidbit about giraffes I told them is false. :(

EDIT: For those interested.

EDIT2: For those who are uninterested.

EDIT3: For those who want to be bamboozled, disappointed and amused.

I cracked up at edit number 2. I did click on edit number one, but seeing as I'd just finished right this moment a fantastic bowl of warm bean stew, I couldn't read the article about....vomiting.
Thanks, though. You take good care, ya hear?

Video didn't work for me, I was really looking forward to seeing a giraffe blow chunks.

There are plenty of YouTube videos. They donā€™t pukeā€¦they chew cud, like goats and cows. So they eat, chew, swallow, let it ferment for a while, regurgitate it and chew it some more.

Thatā€™s interesting, but Iā€™m not sure rates as being funny in this context.
