This method of giving birth is an adaptation of chameleons to a cold climate. 🥶
It is too cold for eggs to develop outside.
The eggs therefore develop inside the female's body, and the offspring is born live.
Although it looks mammal-like, they aren't.

In a lot of pictures the horses have a short tail. Docking tails rose as a practice in the 19th century.
When farmers used large draft horses it was to pull their machinery and work in the fields.
The long tails of these horses were at risk of becoming caught in the machinery

An ectopic pregnancy is a life-threatening condition that requires emergency treatment.
It happens when a fertilized egg implants outside of the uterus, most commonly in a fallopian tube.
The fallopian tube isn’t made to hold a growing embryo and can lead to internal bleeding.

DNA is copied in mRNA because the mRNA can leave the nucleus of the cell. (DNA can’t leave)
The mRNA carries the code of the gene.
After it leaves the nucleus, it is modified: it becomes a protein.
Proteins make up most of what we are (muscle tissue, organ tissue,…)

Without kinesin, life would not be possible, as they transport the compounds of the cell, for example, when it divides.
