A) About horses:

1. What are the the 5 most common pathologies of horses? Mention them and give a little description too.

- Colic : Is a catchall name for several different serious digestive problems that commonly afflict horses. The condition can be caused by bad feeding, overfeeding, poisonous weeds, or/and overexercising.

- Heaves : This is a chronic respiratory inflammation frequently caused by an allergic reaction to airborne particles . It bears some resemblance to asthma in humans. RAO is most often seen in horses who are in their stable a lot and exposed to dust and molds from old hay and straw.

- Tetanus : is an acute, often fatal disease characterized by spasmodic contraction of muscles, especially those of the neck and jaw. It is caused by the bacteria found in soil and is ingested by the horse with grass.

- Laminitis : is an inflammation of certain internal structures of the hoof. This painful and serious condition causes lameness; the horse may lie down to try to relieve the pain in his hooves. The affected foot may feel hot to the touch. 

- Navicular disease: The most common cause of chronic front foot lameness is a corrosive ulcer on the navicular bone in the foot. It may be caused by a variety of things including improper shoeing or extensive work on hard ground.

2. Publish a picture of the horse's skeletal system (with names)

3. Publish a picture of the horse's internal system (main organs) (with names)

A Country I would like to visit

I always dreamed to travel to Turquía , I would like because I find it a very beautiful and  interesting country but the biggest reason is because they are located the Ruins of Troy,some people think that Troy did not exist and that is only a legend but in this country they found these!,  it fascinates me with its intriguing history and I would like to visit !

 What I know is Turquía is located  on the continent Asia and Europe , I also know it has a lot of rich history and its scenery is exotic and has several palaces, mosques and castles , besides their domesticated animals are the camel, buffalo and the Angora goat, it is very different to our country.

I have always heard of their cities as Capadocia , Estambul and I saw a documentary on these cities have a different landscape and relief what you see commonly, due to soil erosion by volcanoes, rivers and winds.

I would like to tour the entire country, its forests with their animals, and their seas with their unique species, and learn their ways

If I have the opportunity , I would like then to adapt to the country and its people , work and live there and be a contribution, in foundations or natural preservation ,as the White Tiger , that's what interests me !
