most people have wondered about the differences between horses and zebras. to understand the difference, you must first understand exactly what a horse is. the horse is a hoofed, plant-eating mammal of the family equidae. this family includes domestic horses, wild horses, and zebras. all are swift, plains-dwelling herd animals who eat coarse grass.
horses, as we know them, evolved in north america and spread over the world. they were hunted by early humans and put to work by asian nomads. until the mid-20th century, horses were widely used for warfare, agriculture, and transportation. today, most horses are used for farming purposes. few modern horses roam wild.
on the other hand, most zebras live in open plains or brush country. mountain zebras like rocky hillsides. zebra herds on the serengeti of east africa can be as large as 200,000 zebras. all travel in family groups led by a stallion. the plains zebras usually mix with other grazing animals, such as wildebeest and antelopes.
you would have to look at the dna of horses and zebras to understand their physical differences. zebras and horses have very similar bodies except for their skins!

Select the correct text in the passage. which two lines in this excerpt from shakespeare's romeo and juliet foreshadow the tragic fate of romeo and juliet? friar laurence: so smile the heavens upon this holy act, that after hours with sorrow chide us not! romeo: amen, amen! but come what sorrow can, it cannot countervail the exchange of joy that one short minute gives me in her sight: do thou but close our hands with holy words, then love-devouring death do what he dare; it is enough i may but call her mine. friar laurence: these violent delights have violent ends and in their triumph die, like fire and powder, which as they kiss consume: the sweetest honey is loathsome in his own deliciousness and in the taste confounds the appetite: therefore love moderately; long love doth so; too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.

Select the correct text in the passage. which sentence in this excerpt from abraham lincoln's second inaugural address conveys that he wanted the us civil war to end as soon as possible? neither party expected for the war the magnitude or the duration which it has already attained. neither anticipated that the cause of the conflict might cease with or even before the conflict itself should cease. each looked for an easier triumph, and a result less fundamental and astounding. both read the same bible and pray to the same god, and each invokes his aid against the other. it may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just inging their bread from the sweat of other men's faces, but let us judge not, that we be not judged. the prayers of both could not be answered. that of neither has been answered fully. the almighty has his own purposes. "woe unto the world because of offenses, for it must needs be that offenses come, but woe to that man by whom the offense cometh" if we shall suppose that american slavery is one of those offenses which, in the providence of god, must needs come, but which, having continued through his appointed time, he now wills to remove, and that he gives to both north and south this terrible war as the woe due to those by whom the offense came, shall we discern therein any departure from those divine attributes which the believers in a living god always ascribe to him? fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. yet, if god wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said "the judgments of the lord are true and righteous altogether." reset next
