Hippidion
''Hippidion'' (meaning ''little horse'') is an extinct genus of Equinae, equine that lived in South America from the Late Pliocene to the end of the Late Pleistocene (Lujanian), between two million and 11,000 years ago. They were one of two lineages of equines native to South America during the Pleistocene epoch, alongside those of the ''Equus (genus), Equus'' subgenus ''Amerhippus''. Evolution ''Hippidion'' has been considered a Lineal descendant, descendant of Evolution of the horse#Pliohippus, pliohippines, equines that migrated into the South American continent around 2.5 million years ago. Early analysis of the ancient DNA of ''Hippidion'' and other New World Pleistocene equines supported the novel hypothesis that ''Hippidion'' was actually a member of the living genus ''Equus (genus), Equus'', with a particularly close relationship to the wild horse, ''Equus ferus''. However this was later shown to be incorrect, with more complete sequences finding ''Hippidion'' as an ou ...
