Cappadocia horse wears sunglasses to protect eye health
In Cappadocia, a horse named Melek has become a point of interest for tourists due to wearing sunglasses. While the sight has drawn attention, the owner, Sarp Kutsi Poyraz, stated that the primary purpose is to protect the animal's eye health.
