Description: Hippidion (meaning pony) was a horse-related, Clydesdale-sized ungulate that lived in South America during the Pleistocene epoch, between 2 million and 10,000 years ago.

Hippidion was probably a descendant of Merychippus, a genus of horses that migrated into the South American continent around 5 million years ago. It stood about approximately 1.4 meters (4 ft, 6 in.) high at the shoulders and resembled a donkey. Evidence from the delicate structure of the nasal bones in the animal suggests that Hippidion evolved in isolation from the other horse species of North America.

Hippidion and similar South American horses went extinct approximately 8000 years ago, and did not reappear there until the 1500s as a result of introduction by humans.
