Hipparionini is a tribe of three-toed horses in the subfamily Equinae. They had body forms similar to modern equines, with high-crowned teeth. They first appeared in North America during the Early Miocene around 17 million years ago,[1] before migrating into the Old World around 11.4-11.0 million years ago.[2] The youngest species date to the Early Pleistocene.[3]
