Horses have been used by people for thousands of years. People ride them and use them to pull carts and ploughs. Horses were the most common way of travelling before cars were invented.
Horses come in a variety of sizes, from ponies that children ride up to big cart horses that are used to pull very heavy loads. A male horse is called a stallion, a female horse is called a mare and a baby horse is called a foal.
His forHorseshoe crab
Horseshoe crabs are more closely related to spiders and scorpions than to crabs. They have six pairs of legs, a hard shell that looks like a horse's hoof, and a long tail. Their first pair of legs are very small and are used for putting food into their mouths.
Horseshoe crabs are called a living fossil because there are fossils of almost identical creatures found that are 230 million years old.
The two horseshoe crabs in the picture are upside down.

His forHummingbird
Scientific name: family: trochilidae
Hummingbirds are a group of small birds that eat nectar. The smallest bird is a type of hummingbird. Hummingbirds can beat their wings 12-90 times a second, which gives them a distinctive hum when they fly. Because they beat their wings so fast, they can hover and fly backwards in the same way that some insects can.
Scientific name: family: hyaenidae
Hyenas look a little like dogs but are not related - they are actually very very distantly related to mongooses. Hyenas have very strong teeth and jaws and can crush bones. Their back legs are shorter than their front legs, so they walk a little like a bear does.
Hyenas live in arid regions in Africa. They hunt larger animals for food, but will also eat dead animals that they find. Hyenas hunt in groups.
