Equus capensis! It’s what you get when you cross a zebra with a draft horse. As you can see, I tried to make this look a little more robust than a zebra, but could use a slight tummy tuck. The head is also slightly too high as it is beginning to stretch. Anyways, E. capensis was a close relative of the modern plains zebras. However, it’s limbs are closer in proportion to that of a draft horse, outranking even the modern Grevy’s zebra. Estimates slightly vary but it would have stood anywhere from 4.6-5.3ft/1.4-1.6m at the shoulder and would have weighed from 880-1100lb/400-500kg. Therefore the largest individuals would have stood more than 6ft at the head. It has been found in several southern African countries from the late Pliocene to early Holocene, as well as potentially in Egypt. The coloration here is somewhat inspired by quaggas. I love quaggas and they had a lot of interesting known color morphs. Soon we’ll meet an even larger horse.
