How many beats in a horse's gallop?

The trot is a two-beat gait. This is because the horse's feet hit the ground in pairs, so you hear two separate noises before the horse is back where it started. The trot is usually diagonal (off hind and near fore, then near hind and off fore.) Some horses, usually harness racers, move their feet in lateral pairs (off hind and off fore, near hind and near fore.) This is usually called pacing instead of trotting. It is also a two beat gait.

What do you have to do to increase your horses speed?

It varies depending on the horse, the riding style and the situation. If you want to learn to ride a horse then you need to learn with an instructor but the theory is as follows. To walk: sit slightly deeper in the saddle, make gentle contact with the horse's mouth via the bit and press your lower leg against the horse's side. Through all this you must keep your torso and head proudly upright, your lower back soft and your body free of tension. To trot: gently and gradually shorten the reins slightly so you still have a contact when the horse raises his head and brings his neck in, keep your seat relaxed and deep in the saddle and again press your lower leg against his side. To canter: the horse 'leads' with one of his front legs and you must instruct him on which leg to use. If you are cantering in a circular area you need to ask him to lead with the 'inside' leg. Sit deep in the saddle, free of tension, make sure his trot is active but slow, squeeze gently with the inside hand, keep a light contact with the outside hand, press your inside lower leg to his side and hold you outside lower leg back slightly against his side. To gallop: take your weight off the horses back by standing up in your stirrups and press your lower leg to the horse's side. Variations: you may need to encourage the horse to speed up using your voice, you may need to use a whip or spurs, you may need to use you heel in a massaging motion, you may need to bring your lower leg forward and use it in front of the girth. This is a very basic overview as the art of riding is incredibly complex!

this is correct in principal but in practice it sometimes differs with the horse. To get a transition to a faster stage, instead of pressing your lower leg into the horses side, it is sometimes more necessary to kick. This does not hurt the horse.

What makes a fox a fox?

This is a rather unclear question.

A fox is a fox (as in 'not a dog, wolf, coyote, or jackal') because of it's skeletal structure. Foxes are built smaller and their muzzles are very pointed as compared to other canids.

Other things that make the fox different from other canids are that foxes (depending on the breed) have very large ears, on their pads (of the paws) there is a raised and inverted 'V' shape that shows in the paw print, the dew-claws of the fox are much lower on the legs and also appear in a paw print, and the tail is long and bushy, as opposed to other canids that have smaller ears, rounded paws, higher dew-claws, and not-so-bushy tails.

What does a camel eat?

Camels eat a wide variety of plants over expansive home ranges. They have leathery mouths and can eat practically any vegetation including thorns, dry vegetation and salt bush that other mammals avoid. Just about all vegetation available in the desert.

When is mating season for deer?

Deer Mate in Autum so that they can have their fawns during the spring which is a less harsher season to be born than winter where there is very little food for both the doe and the fawn. That way the fawns have spring, summer, and autum to prepare for winter.

What eats a addax?

They are few and far between, I believe a predator would be stretched to find one. But if in the wild, in large enough numbers to be hunted by something besides paochers, I'd think lions, and other large cats, crocs., and hiena packs.

Who eat ostriches?

Humans do, actually we eat their eggs and their meat. But since the Ostrichs live in the Savanah, the only thing that would probably eat them is a cheetah or lion, or some sort of cat that lives out there. They can atleast outrun the ostrich.

Is an ostrich a scavenger?

Recent theories now believe it may have been a scavenger, because of its weight, might not could have been quick enough to catch its prey, also, the teeth are for bone crushing, like a scavenger. Its sense of smell was acute, similar to modern vultures. So T Rex may not have been a great hunter, but like the hyena, might have done a little of both. The reasons to believe they were predators and scavengers are pretty obvious: 1. First thing is proof. A skeleton of a large plant eating dinosaur called Edmontosaurus was discovered and was missing one of its vertebrae. The vertebrae had a tooth mark in it that matched exactly that of T-Rex's tooth. Also the vertebrae showed evidence of healing , which tells us that the Edmontosaurus had escaped, and that the T-Rex had attacked it in an attempt to bring it down. 2. It's arms however were useless. A predator needs its front limbs for grabbing its prey. T. rex could not do that. However many paleontologists think the reason the arms of Tyrannosaurs got smaller and smaller while the head got bigger and bigger, was so that it could evolve a powerful jaw which was its main weapon in killing prey. 3. It weighed 6-7 tons. If it fell over, it would die, because it couldn't push itself up again (due to its useless arms and its crushing mass). It was probably an ambush predator however and did not chase prey once it had been spotted. 4. It was slow. Because of its size and the proportion of its leg bones (the bones in its leg are roughly the same size, like a human's, making it a pretty slow runner, unlike, say, an ostrich, which has long lower leg bones, a characteristic common to all fast runners), it couldn't get up to speed, so probably couldn't run down prey, but could ambush large slow moving prey. 5. No animal is going to pass up a free meal, so just about any meat eating animal probably scavenged. This does not make it 100 percent scavenger. An animal as big as T-Rex could not survive on scavenging alone. If it did it would pretty much have to depend on other carnivores to make kills, and an animal this big need to eat a lot. It isn't guaranteed that other carnivores will have made a kill every time a T-Rex needed to eat, therefore T-Rex would have to find prey of its own. 6. It's teeth and head muscles are unparalleled by other dinosaurs. The amount of force that a T. rex could exert with its jaw muscles was extraordinary, perfect for crushing bones and consuming all parts of a dead animal. Such musculature could be found in predators as well, so obviously T-Rex had evolved a different method of killing prey rather than having a slashing bite like most big carnivores. All that being as it may, science is a search for facts, not truth. New evidence may show up that totally refutes the argument for T. rex being a scavenger, or the facts may be interpreted differently by different people. Science is always changing, always looking to disprove itself. The evidence is strong that T. rex was, in fact, a predator, as well as a scavenger, but the "truth" of the matter is that we will never know for sure.
