Species

Cremohipparion is an extinct genus of equid that lived in Eurasia and Africa during the Miocene through Pliocene.

Its habitat or biome consisted of non-forested, grassy plains, shortgrass prairie or steppes.

Taxonomy

Cremohipparion was originally coined as a subgenus of Hipparion for a number of Eurasian species. Later, Bernor and Tobien (1989) elevated Cremohipparion to full generic status in their description of small hipparionin specimens from Samos, Greece.
