Hippidion (SciiFii)

The South American wild horse (Hippidion principale, name meaning principal's little horse) is a species of wild horse that originally lived in South America from the Late Pliocene to the end of the Late Pleistocene (Lujanian), between two million and 11,000 years ago, and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and reintroduced to the modern forests, open woodlands, and grasslands throughout South America to help boost biodiversity. It is an average-sized horse species, standing at around 1.4 metres (4.6 ft) (also 13.2 hh) high at the shoulders and looks vaguely like a donkey. However, it has a different skull shape, as its nasal bone is projected forward from the skull, giving it wider nostrils to help warm up the air it breathes if the animal is in the cold climate. Unlike most advanced horses, it is a mixed-feeding herbivore as opposed to being a pure grazer, feeding mainly on grasses, leaves, fruits, and shrubs. It is a social animal that can live in herds of up to around 25 individuals at a time. The conservation status of the South American wild horse is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the South American wild horses' wide natural range and their tolerance to most of human activities.
