🐎Wild horse
Equus ferus (alternativement Equus caballus ferus), généralement désigné sous le nom de Cheval, est une espèce de mammifères ongulés de la famille des équidés. Appartenant au genre Equus, au même titre que les ânes (Asinus) et les zèbres (Hippotigris), elle est la seule espèce actuelle de son sous-genre éponyme, Equus. On attribue généralement trois sous-espèces : le Cheval domestique (Equus ferus caballus), le Tarpan (Equus ferus ferus), aujourd'hui éteint, et le Cheval de Przewalski (Equus ferus przewalski). Il est souvent admis que les chevaux domestiques modernes proviennent du Tarpan, mais d'autres sous-espèces potentielles issues d'Equus ferus en sont peut-être à l'origine.
