Can horse bite?

News this morning shows that horse actually can bite. A boy in Penang was bitten by a horse during an exhibition when he was climbing down from the horse ridden.

Strangely enough this is my first time hearing such news. I remember went to Bkt Cahaya last month with friends and actually horse's teeth are not sharp, and moreover horses should be smooth type animals. We've heard a lot about dogs biting passer-by, pedastrians, tigers or lions biting people, but how on earth can a horse bite? This remind me of the movie "Black Sheep" where sheep can kill after being cloned.

Hope this is just a one off incident and no more such news appear, otherwise we, human beings shall start worrying since we do not know which animals going to attack human.

Actually, horses do bite. And a horse's bite can be very dangerous.
