Equus namadicus

Mammals

Equus namadicus is a prehistoric equid known from remains of the Middle and Late Pleistocene across the Indian subcontinent, with its last dated records about 29,000 to 14,000 years ago. It is considered a stenonine horse, related to the European Equus stenonis, which means it is probably more closely related to zebras and asses than to true horses. It is relatively large in size. It is very similar to the earlier Equus sivalensis from the same region, differing only in size and in subtle aspects of dental anatomy, and it has sometimes been suggested to be a synonym of that species.
