Equus major

Equus major is an extinct species of large equine native to Europe during the Early Pleistocene epoch.

The species was first recognised as Equus stenonis race major in 1893 by Delafond and Depéret, 1893 based on remains found near Chagny, France.

[1] Equus major is known from fossils across Europe, spanning from France, Britain, and the Netherlands in the west, eastwards to Romania and southern Russia.

[1] Unlike living equines, Equus major is thought to have had a diet ranging from that of a browser to a mixed feeder based on dental wear analysis.

It is found at some localities with the somewhat smaller fellow "stenonine" Equus stenonis.
