¿Quién soy?
There is a great variety of sizes and colors in my species. You can recognize us by our long and strong limbs, powerful body, and long, muscular neck. We live in groups called "harems" where there is a dominant male and several females with their young. We have been a domesticated species for thousands of years. However, some subspecies still live in the wild.
¿De qué me alimento?
Our diet is based on a wide variety of grasses, oats, barley grass, wheat, flax, corn, soybeans, alfalfa, and hay.
¿Dónde vivo?
We can live in a wide variety of habitats under the care of humans. Before we were domesticated, we lived in the extreme north of Africa, in almost all of Europe, China, Mongolia, and North America.
Para que me conozcas mejor
Interrupted sleep.
To adapt to the different temperatures of the environment and feeding times, we usually rest or sleep several times a day, in periods that do not exceed a couple of hours. You will be able to see us sleeping lying down, or standing up.
