Equid's Name: Django
Behind the name: Well originally I picked it because it sounded unique and different. I've never met a girl named Django :3. I once read somewhere that we pick names because our subconscious knows the meaning before we do. So, true to heart, I looked up the meaning for Django and this is what I found: "Django was a famed Gypsy jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt -- "Django" is Romani for "I awake". In
Ratatouille, Remy's dad, a rat, is named Django." I thought it had a freaking awesome meaning, and something that tied into Disney? Come on. I couldn't
not use it.
Age: 3 years
Gender: Mare
Height: 13hh
What causes the chimera mutation? Two fraternal twins merge into one embryo in utero, with the new embryo retaining both sets of DNA but creating one being. Because of the two different DNA types the horse can have kidneys formed with the DNA of one twin and the lungs of the other twin. Ooooh scary :3
Name 5 plants poisonous to equines: Red Maple, also known as Swamp/Soft Maple; Deadly Nightshade/Belladonna, Nardoo, Mallow, and Lupins. Technically Nardoo itself isn't poisonous, but the plant contains an enzyme that can cause brain damage in sheep and horses.
This horse won the Triple Crown in 1973: Secretariat
How many lengths did the same horse win with at the Belmont Stakes? A whopping 31 lengths!
