eli5: Why do we get nosebleeds? Do any other animals get them for seemingly no reason?

Don’t horses bleed from their lungs and it comes out their nose, if they are ran really hard?

There are a lot of blood vessels in your nose, so too much strain due to things like picking your nose, sniffling, or blowing your nose can cause the blood vessels to rupture and bleed. Some people have more blood vessels closer to the surface, so, like me, you can be prone to nose bleeds. I don’t know if other animals have this issue, but our noses are somewhat unique compared to other animals.

I only get nose bleeds if punched in the nose. Other animals also get nose bleeds if punched in the nose.

well… there’s a lizard that squirts blood from its eye to freak predators out.
The period is a little unique, and results in half the population bleeding around once a month. Most animals don’t really do that.
When things in the deer family grow their antlers seasonally, they start out with this covering of fuzzy skin and blood vessels called “velvet”… When the antlers are done, the deer scrapes the velvet off and leaves bloody rags of it everywhere.
I can’t think of any other random weird blood disturbances off the top of my head.
