Naked foal syndrome (NFS) is a genetic disorder specific to the Akhal-Teke horse breed. A rare genodermatosis , it is characterized by almost complete hairlessness and mild ichthyosis . The condition is inherited as a monogenic autosomal recessive trait, and affected horses typically die between a few weeks and three years of age.

Interspecies compatibility is related to the type of placentation, as mothers of species having the more invasive hemochorial placentation (such as humans) must create a stronger downregulation of maternal immune responses, and are thereby more receptive to fetuses of other species, compared to those with endotheliochorial (e.g. cats and dogs ...
Just like any animal, horses have special ways of expressing their love and affection to other horses and even people. They can't use words, of course, equestrian body language and vocalizations ...
Technically, in a human–animal hybrid, each cell has both human and non-human genetic material. It is in contrast to an individual where some cells are human and some are derived from a different organism, called a human-animal chimera. [1] (A human chimera, on the other hand, consists only of human cells, from different zygotes.)
Sexual coercion among animals is the use of violence, threats, harassment, and other tactics to help them forcefully copulate. [1] Such behavior has been compared to sexual assault, including rape, among humans.
The artificial skin was able to detect different signals from approaching targets, meaning touchless object identification could also be possible. The research was published in the scientific ...
