A horse species inhabited paleo-America. They were long extinct by the time modern Indians and then Europeans arrived. Europeans introduced the modern horse.

The 9-foot tall human remains found were spirited away to a Smithsonian storage facility where they’ll never be seen again. /s

Indians liked to barbecue horses, cheetahs and bison.

When we were doing the environmental impact study for the Gold Quarry mine in Nevada, a lot of horse and camel fossils were found. Not quite like the modern animals but clearly close ancestors. The idea at that time was that the horses and camels went east over the Bering Strait just as humans made the trek west.

Is this your typical bad reporting, or did horses inhabit North America at some time in the past?

I've alerted the Department of Redundancy Department...
