You know what really caught me up: where are horses native to?

[–] bstix@feddit.dk 66 points 1 month ago (2 children)

There are wild horses on the Mongolian steppes.

All other horses are domesticated. Even the free horses in USA and Australia are descendants of domesticated horses.

You're right! But also, horses were native to North America but they went extinct 10,000 years ago and weren't introduced until much more recently.
