Hipparion (Greek, "pony") is an extinct genus of horse that lived in North America, Asia, Europe, and Africa. This was during the Early Miocene to the Late Pleistocene ~23 million years to 780,000 years ago.[1] They lived for a total of 22 million years. Female Hipparions were more different from male Hipparions. This creature was preyed upon by famous predators such as Smilodon and Titanis.
Hipparion has appeared only in Wild New World and the novel The People that Time Forgot, during where in the novel, it was named Ace and called as a Merychippus, an ancestral horse. It appeared in the documentary stop motion series My Ancient World, where it was depicted as a white horse and the main prey item for the large terror bird Kelenken.
