      Big cat. You’re aware of the cheetah? Just picture that but not in Africa

          PBS Eons has a couple good videos on both horse evolution and domestication.

          There are wild horses on the Mongolian steppes.

          All other horses are domesticated. Even the free horses in USA and Australia are descendants of domesticated horses.

            You’re right! But also, horses were native to North America but they went extinct 10,000 years ago and weren’t introduced until much more recently.

      Human. Not for food, but because they always choose to breed on the Porcshe over the Toyota Hilux for racing.

        The wording here makes it sound like we hunted horses for the specific purpose of having sex on them, and honestly, I’d probably be running as fast as a car if that kept happening to me too!

      Us. They basically tried to beat pursuit predation by outrunning the distance humans will be willing to track over.

      It did not work, they went extinct in North America because of how much it did not work.
