South American Wild Horse

A South American wild horse is a species of wild horse native to scrublands and grasslands of South America, and is likely descended from an extinct groups of North American wild horse that had spread to South America and survived to modern to modern times. It is a social herd-dwelling animal that lives in herd up to about 50-95 at a time and is a grazer that feeds only on grasses. Just like African zebras, South American wild horses can migrate to newer feeding grounds, and the natural predators of South American wild horses like caimans and crocodiles (in riverbanks) and big cats can hunt and kill the unfortunate, young, old, sick, and injured wild horses of the herd. The conservation status of the South American wild horse is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts.
