Hipparion
Hipparion is an extinct genus of three-toed equine belonging to the extinct tribe Hipparionini. While the genus formerly included most hipparionines, the genus is now more narrowly defined. The genus in its strict, narrow sense is known from remains found in Eurasia, spanning the Late Miocene (~10-5 million years ago), with the assignment of remains from elsewhere to the genus, such as North America and Africa, being uncertain.
