For the October 9th Presidential Debate, several of the Anheuser-Busch Budweiser Clydesdales were brought to parade around campus. Dr. Fiona Marshall, a professor in the Department of Anthropology, saw this as a great educational opportunity for the students in her Zooarchaeology class. The students had been studying a small order of hoofed mammals, Perissodactyla. These odd-toed ungulates include equidae (horses). The Clydesdales were of special interest to the class because they represent a very unique case of selective breeding which demonstrates the plasticity of the species. Dr. Marshall reached out to the university and received special permission to see the Clysesdales as a small group, giving the students a better understanding of how the bones relate to a living animal.
