At the heart of these stories lies the natural...

Yet within this commotion each mated pair forms a bond of extreme closeness and tenderness that survives sepa...

The horse herd on Shackleford Banks has long been a subject of fascination. Today, it is both one of the wildest and most controlled animal populations on earth. An array of scientists sees to it that the horses are born, battle for social rank, forage fo...
