  2. The scientific name for the horse is: Equus caballus

  3. Equine, here is some information and a web site to get you started.

    IX. Modern Equines (Recent)

    The three-toed horses gradually died out, perhaps outcompeted by the phenomenally successful artiodactyls (or not). Most of the one-toed horses in North America also died out, as the Ice Ages started. (The causes of these extinctions are unknown.) However, one-toed Equus was very successful. Until about 1 million years ago, there were Equus species all over Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, and South America, in enormous migrating herds that must easily have equalled the great North American bison herds, or the huge wildebeest migrations in Africa.

    In the late Pleistocene there was a set of devastating extinctions that killed off most of the large mammals in North and South America. All the horses of North and South America died out (along with the mammoths and saber-tooth tigers). These extinctions seem to have been caused by a combination of climatic changes and overhunting by humans, who had just reached the New World. For the first time in tens of millions of years, there were no equids in the Americas.

    The only members of Equus -- and of the entire family Equidae -- that survived to historic times were:

    Order Perissodactyla, Family Equidae, Genus Equus

    Equus burchelli: the Plains zebra of Africa, including "Grant's zebra", "Burchell's zebra", "Chapman's zebra", the half-striped Quagga, and other subspecies. The Plains zebra is what people usually think of as the "typical zebra", with rather wide vertical stripes, and thick horizontal stripes on the rump.

    Equus zebra: the Mountain zebra of South Africa. This is the little zebra with the dewlap and the gridiron pattern on its rump.

    Equus grevyi: Grevy's zebra, the most horse-like zebra. This is the big zebra with the very narrow vertical stripes and huge ears.

    Equus caballus, the true horse, which once had several subspecies.

    Equus hemionus: the desert-adapted onagers of Asia & the Mideast, including the kiang (formerly E. kiang).

    Equus asinus: the true asses & donkeys of northern Africa. (The African wild asses are sometimes called E. africanus.)

  4. HORSE.  OOHHH, YOU MEAN THE TECHNICAL NAME SCIENCE  PUT ON EVERYTHING !  I  ALWAYS BELIEVED THAT ADAM NAMED IT A " HORSE ".
