Birds with their wings streched out have more surface area so they catch the air, but birds with their wing tucked into them have no traction and no air catches them.

Horses lying down?

Horses are capable of lying down to rest or take naps, typically for short periods of time. They can lie down on their sides with their legs tucked underneath them, as well as on their bellies with their legs stretched out. Horses can also engage in a behavior called "sunbathing," where they lie flat on their sides with their legs outstretched to relax and soak up the sun.

Why does a bull's testicles hang lower from the body than a horse's?

There are two reasons why. First of all, horses are animals that love to run. In order to prevent the testes from getting damaged and bruised from running, they are tucked up closer to the body. Cattle are typically too bulky and heavy to run (though there is no doubt that they are capable of running quite fast), so the testes are allowed to hang down a bit more. The second reason is that the longitudinal length of the testes of a stallion are positioned parallel to the line of the underside of the belly or the ground. This prevents the scrotum from allowing the testes to hang down so much and, anatomically speaking, makes the testes have to be held closer to the body. With a bull, on the other hand, the testes are perpendicular to the ground.
