A mythical beast called a centaur.
And mythical means it does not, and never did, exist.
Makes for a good story in Harry Potter though! haha

the being you are talking about was a creation of Greek mythology...such an animal never existed.

well, this belief is taken from the history long time ago which is no evidence if it is really true. and because of that many considered it as a myth, a superstitious belief. we always saw on it on horror movies, we felt that it is true because we are also affected by their images and sometimes we are afraid to go outside at night. For me, this is not true that this kind of individual exist.

it is probably one of those myths like leprechauns and unicorns and mermaids. fantasy literature that people read for their enjoyment and entertainment purposes. which usually has lessons like fables in order to teach people, mostly kids, to be better people.

Hi cream97! They are called Centaurs. Their body is of that of a horse and have a torso and head of a human. They are mythological creatures and I really don't think they exist. However, I like watching them at the "Chronicles of Narnia".
Take Care and God Bless! Happy Mylotting!

Its called a Centaur. The thinking in Archaeology is that when primitive people first saw a man riding a horse they thought they were one being. When they returned to their home land they told the others what they has seen. That's how the legend started.

It's called a Centaur. I don't know. I guess I believe that anything is possible. I think a lot of myths have an anchor in the truth but I don't think this creature actually existed in our reality I guess.
