Stakeholder Knowledge and Perceptions of Free-roaming Equids and Their Management at a Western U.S. Land Grant University ...
The horse (Equus ferus caballus), originally native to North America, became extinct on the continent approximately 10,000 years ago. Horses that migrated from North America to Eurasia across the Bering Strait continued to evolve and were domesticated along with burros (E. asinus). Both species were...
