So, it’s possible that your horse’s gas is also related to the diet. Certainly, some foods in the human diet are known to more likely result in gas than others, such as cruciferous vegetables (cabbage, Brussel sprouts, broccoli, etc.) and beans. While we might not like to admit it, we all fart. Gas in the digestive tract is perfectly normal. However, with exercise the rate of movement goes up, and gas in the digestive tract moves more quickly, such that a large amount of gas is passed at once rather than slowly over time. Normally, movement through the gut is fairly steady, and so gas passes slowly and goes unnoticed. That award goes to the blue whale, who can emit sounds at 180 decibels, which is even louder than a jet engine.The most likely cause of a horse passing gas when ridden but not during rest is that the movement of exercise causes the rate of gut motility to change. If you think your neighbour’s screeching toddler is the loudest creature on the planet, you’d be wrong.

But not everyone knows that a blue whale’s tongue is roughly the size and weight of a full-grown elephant, so impress them with that tidbit of info instead. The Size of a Blue Whale’s Tongue Is InsaneĮverybody knows that blue whales are the largest animals to have ever existed on the planet, so no scoring of big WOW points with this fact. Bazinga! Not a solitary case, there have been many such examples reported in recent years, including a Vancouver Aquarium whale who reportedly learned to pronounce its own name. Whales have been known to mimic human speech, with one notable case of a captive Beluga whale perfecting the art so much that he used to trick his diving-trainer into thinking someone was shouting for him to come up to the surface.
