You will perhaps scratch your head a bit on how this is the case, but what we are seeing is a 32-bit subnet mask, and where we route between each of the subnet (as they are single IP addresses). The bad.horse domain is:
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: bad.horse
Address: 162.252.205.157
So what we have is the route from the gateway into the domain (162.252.205.133/32), and then there are routers between this network and the next (162.252.205.134/32). It then goes over each hop one at a time, until it reaches the end node (162.252.205.157).
