cursorial definition
Horses can be considered cursorial grazers. Cursorial is a biological term that describes an organism as being adapted specifically to run. It is typically used in conjunction with an animal's feeding habits or another important adaptation. For example, a horse can be considered a cursorial grazer, while a wolf may be considered a cursorial predator. The term is typically applied to animals adapted to long-distance running at high speeds, rather than animals with high acceleration over short distances - a cheetah is considered cursorial, while a leopard is not.
