I once remember seeing what looked like winged horses in the sky above the cloudlines. Although likely a dream has there ever been any similar reports cause if it was a dream what influenced it when I was only 3 or younger anyone know.

i've never heard of any reports but i know when i was 3 my older brother used to read me mythology storys, which used to influence dreams like that for me. I'm not sure about what influenced it with you it could have been movies or books something like that. If anyone else knows of some actual real reports i would also like to know sounds intresting.

Does anyone beleive Pegasus is possible through Evolution lets hear

I think that a creature like pegasus could exist, but only as a mishap of genetics, after all, there are cats with wings.

No... a creature with strong flight capability usualy cannot run very well. There is no need to develop both flying and running.

Yes pegasus exists, gorgons exist, satyrs exist, and centaurs exist. Exept they do not live on Earth anymore. Some do, But most of them are in my golden base on the moon which is really El Dorado. Santa Clause and the rest of the survivors from Atlantis also live there.

I refuse to believe that a horse could fly with such measly wings. it would need huge wings to lift such a heavy body.

In Islam there is a being known as the Buraq (bo-rackh) that is similar to Pegasus. It is a being of light, with the body of a horse and the head of a man. This is a heavenly creature that was sent to take our prophet Muhammad (pbuh) to visit heaven. We fully believe in this creature in Islam. It is written that one step of the Buraq is as far as the eye can see. (travels at the speed of light). To us though the being just looks like a ball of light, but if you were so fortunate to see it up close as the Prophet (pbuh) was, then you would be able to see it's definitions.

Ok, a flying winged horse is highly unlikley. Like the winged cats, they have a genetics problem, their skin looses elasticti( i'm sorry), and the the extra skin folds appear to look like wings.

If they did exist, it wouldn't be for long. They'd just be ground up and sold as an aphrodisiac.

If you take shrooms and watch a western movie the horses do seem to fly sometimes. But then you also wonder why the indians are fighting with those damn banana wielding leprechauns.

Curse them leprahchuns! Curse them! *shakes my fist at them*

Anyways, I do not believe a pegasus is possible through evolution. Odds are somebody saw an elephant one day, albeit while drunk, and mistook it for a winged horse do to how big those frapping ears are! It's wacky! I mean look, they are huge!

"And also, they are full of air sacks in the hollows, just like a bird. And the pubic bone turns backward, just like a bird." ~Wait ignore the qoute from Dr. Grant in Jurassic Park. It only applies to raptors, but the elephants ears are still huge! Where do you think they got the idea for Dumbo huh? Just goes to show, the government is indeed trying to cover up the existence of flying elephants with the Walt Disney corperation in order to keep terrorists from getting their hands on one, which may possibly be the most dangerous WMD in existence....phew...that was random.

for a horse to be able to fly it would need a massive wing span and its abdomen would be outragously huge to house the muscles needed to use them (this goes for 'classic' Angels as well), also there would need to be a species of 6 legged horse it was related to, as Pegasi have 6 limbs: 4 legs and 2 wings. a Pegasi related to our horse would be a very poor runner, its forelegs being it's wings.

hey vyrUS, we are not sure if it is in the shape of a horse, all we know is that it has wings and can travel very fast and that's all we know about this creature and we can't make up things about it because it is forbidden.

not a chance in seven hells. oh, by the way, i read the cats with wings didnt really have wings, just mutated and useless apendages in the shoulder area, only wings in the very loosest sense of thw word. saw a picture once too, the wings just looked like furry square things about the size of your palm on the cats shoulders.

i've never seen on before
i wish!
if i ever see one
ill let you know

A winged horse.....
Kinda makes you think...
What exactly does he use his wings for?
Perhaps we'll never know....

Are you sure it wasn't a bird? Or a kite?

A winged horse is impossible. No mammal has six limbs. Also, the wings would have to be unusually large to lift a horse, even one that had hollow bones. If a pegasus did exist, it would also have a large breast to hold the wing muscles. It would also be very hard for the creature to fly with its large hindlegs. Perhaps if it only had two legs, and the hindlegs of a horse were in front, then it might be remotely possible.

Topics merged.

I believe they exist, animals from another dimension where the gravity is a bit lighter than ours so some animals would need wings to avoid predators or something. Or pegesus was once a real creature that doesn't exist anymore.

Ok seriously..here's a cat with wings

They're still cute.

Though I want a mini cat... SOmething only about a pound or two.... Something that stays Kitten it's whole life. Cabbits are cute too...

But then again, I'm a cat lover. And if I got a cat like that I'd make sure it had the best care possible.

I remember when my sister took these two kittens home from the North Shore Animal League. They were soooo cute with their beanie tails and big heads and high pitched meows.

Then one day I looked at them and they have gotten big and were no longer cute.

it could be a glider, it runs fast then jumps off a cliff and glides to the bottom. mabye thats why theyre extinct

gliders eh? Sorta like the flying squirrels?

Would explain some things....

There are a lot of people here saying about a pegasus' wings being to small, so can I ask do any of you have any real knowledge of aerodynamics to back up your points

through gene splicing, it -might- be possible to create a pegasus-like creature, or a unicorn like creature, or any number of others.. a pegasus would probably either have flaps like flying squirrels, or actual wings like a bat, rather than a bird. though that would mean growing an extra set of for-limbs for the purpose. not likely to happen naturally, but could possibly be created given the chance to try it.

flying horses? no friggen way in all the universe. not even with a mutation.the change would be too drastic to be just a freak birth.

A horse specie would simply not develop wings because there is no need for them. And even if it was possible, the wings would have to be 6 times the length of its body to carry it AND would no way have feathers. They would be more like bat wings... If anything.

It's a nice mythical beast to beleive in. But simply impossible.

Anyone whos ever seen a male peacock flying very high will notice it resembles the shape of a horse. Could this have sparked the legend...?

EDIT: And another thing. Except insects. There isnt one animal on this planet that has both wings and forearms/legs. Not one.

And if they glided, it would mean they would most probably have skin between the front and back legs allowing it to do so. A horse CANNOT spread its legs outwards. Again, making this theory impossible.

I would like to believe it but I can't... It's just so... UNREAL! If there was a good reason then I would beilieve it. What's the difference between Pegasus and Unicorns?

Pegasus are now extinct. They did exist but were all killed many hundreds of years ago. They are not a product of evolution...they are in fact a product of inter-species breeding. Dragons not only ate horses, from time to time they also mated with them. Pegasus were the offspring of dragons and horses. They went the same way as the dragons as many believed them to be dragons.

Horses are big heavy animals. If you ever had one step on your foot, you would know that is not getting off the ground. If you saw something white and flying it might have been wooping cranes. Man, they are big birds and they fly really high.
Now as far as the big wide Universe, anything is possible.
cloudedmoon

I am all for having strange creatures around (I was a DM for pen and paper D&D ages ago). But scientifically no for Pegasus, can just say its a nice aesthestic creation. If there are Pegasus, there should also be winged-cows and winged-hippos I think.

Pegasus's never existed and never could exist naturally. The only way they could would be by splicing a horses dna. However, unicorns once did thousands of years ago. THere used to be a small species of horse that werr about 2 to 3 feet tall with a small 2 inch horn on its head and small bent horns on their knees used for climbing trees.

I would like to see some pigs with wings too....

yeh i was gonna say i've seen images of cats with wings
