weve attributed that to some kind of sixth sense. turns out theyre using vision, one of the same five senses we do—sort of. horses see very differently than we do. their large eyes magnify objects so they seem up to 50% larger than they do to us. (to them, a bike might appear as big as a pony!) theyre also highly attuned to motion. a little twitch of a frown on a human face may seem like a great big scary scowl to horses. they interpret it as a threat. can you get me that? 7 so we know horses communicate with each other through expressions and that they understand some human expressions. could they ever communicate with us using these skills? another new study indicates they can. 8 researchers based at the school for ethical equitation in italy created an experiment in which they placed a bucket of oats, carrots, or apples beyond the reach of a horse. a human stood passively nearby. researchers observed horses looking at the bucket, then at the human, then back at the bucket. if the human did nothing in response, the horse would try other tricks to attract the humans gaze—nod its head, jerk its nose quickly toward the bucket, or change position so it could make eye contact. if the human walked away, some horses would go over 7. in paragraph 7, why does the author include a rhetorical question? to indicate a weakness in the argument that horses can communicate to emphasize that there is still a lot about horse behavior that needs to be studied to suggest that horses might someday be able to communicate with humans to introduce the research study described in the next paragraph
