Miocene-Pleistocene (20-2 MYA)

Herbivore

Equine

'''This primitive horse was one of the closest mammal's to truly resemble as real horse, apart from the two extra toes on each hoof and the slight difference in shape. These were wide spread animals possibly to help start the evolutionary process of actual wild horses and ponies that now live in our world today, for it would have already have developed the muscles for fast running capabilities from Ice Age predators and social behavior to stick together in herds as another form of protection which by now at that time would be used by many herbivorous animals. Hipparion would most likely have lived in wide open plains and graze in those areas for days and then move on to another area just like how normal wild horses behave and migrate throughout the regions.'''

Because of how long this species lasted it would have even have witnessed the evolutionary birth of modern horses and other species like mammoths, but through the ages competition between the species for resources would become significantly more difficult and that it would become a more easier target for more advanced predators such as cave hyena's, Smilodon, Dire wolves and other major Ice age predators.
