BRAZIL — Given the wide appeal of the beach, it stands to reason that more than just humans would be interested in visiting. For example, have you ever seen this wild video of a cassowary approaching some beachgoers? If you're not familiar with cassowaries, they're massive birds that have been known to kill humans with their powerful claws.

Other times, you might share the beach with a more tranquil animal. Like the horses in this video.

Is it just me, or do these horses look like regular visitors to the ocean? They just seem to be enjoying themselves, and have no fear of the people around them.

"I was on vacation at the beach when I saw two horses approaching the seawater, and that's when I decided to record," explains the caption. "They incredibly entered the water, took a brief bath and left the sea, calmly, and followed the same path they came in."

You have to wonder if these horses are wild, or if they just have some kind of secret passage from their corral that allows them to hit the beach any time they want.
