At least unicorn horns must grow back. We've seen Rarity having her horn filed at the spa, after all.

Perhaps it's from genetics, like what happened with Pumpkin and Pound Cake.

Plausible, as that would require Pegasi crystal ponies in the past.

Rhinoceros horns, unlike those of other horned mammals (which have a bony core), only consist of keratin. Rhinoceros horns are used in traditional Asian medicine, and for dagger handles in Yemen and Oman. Esmond Bradley Martin has reported on the trade for dagger handles in Yemen.[41] The market for rhino horn is however largely driven by practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine who consider the horn an effective and even live-saving medicine.

:flimflam: Who cares if it works or not, so long as people think it does?
:angry: The rhinoceroses do!

Sharks also get regularly killed because people think they can't get cancer (they can) and eating their liver would cure them or make them immune. :fluttersmith:

Equestrian ponies have shown themselves to be monogamous much like humans in Western society traditionally are. If their typical relationships were particularly different then I doubt Cadance and Shining Armor's wedding would have gone quite the same.

The major flaw of any type of pony being able to produce any of the 3 types of offspring is what if a pegasus gives birth to an earth pony or unicorn in a Cloudsdale hospital? Assuming it doesn't fall to Earth immediately, the family would either need to move to the ground or constantly cast cloud-walking spells on their child. :ponder:

The same goes for any pegasi too young, old, or disabled ( :nngh:) to fly. What happens if one of them falls out of the city? Hell, that's what happened to Fluttershy, and she only happened to be saved by a swarm of butterflies. Overall, Cloudsdale is a good place for weather generation, but terrible for living in.

My headcanon is that since it's hard to raise a family or retire there, that a lot of the pegasi workers just commute there and other than that it's just full of young, childless pegasus hipsters. :smugdash:

Pegasi are taught from birth to press down and B to petrify themselves and avoid injury when falling.

There's probably a workhouse full of earthbound children of Pegasii.

Evolution? I was thinking Social Darwinism when I wrote that...

Would make sense that only the strong survive when we look at their history...Who was their leader? Commander Hurricane, and he would have needed strong warriors. This would have served his purposes well....

Considering the Grecian styling of Cloudsdale, it seems a perfectly Spartan way of doing things.

The weak and foolish are naturally weeded out of the pegasus population, a process than only was reduced in time by pegasi adopting more ground-bound abodes and intermingling with non-pegasi on a regular basis. One would also imagine that pegasus parents are VERY attentive about their offspring lest they "fall out of the nest". After all, birds have been doing the same for pretty much forever.

No, you see, Darwin didn't propose the "Survival of the fittest" model in the first place, that was someone else, the name of whom I can't remember for the life of me at the moment. :pinkieshrug:

The simple explanation is that whatever density shifting power winged creatures have that allows them to stand on clouds can apply to other things, like butterflies, or wagons.
