Mini Pony of the Day 12-20-07

I'll let this site do the explaining for today's MPotD:

Propaleotherium – a dwarf-horse from the Messel Pit.

This early horse (Propalaeotherium hassiacum) lived about 50 millions years ago. Its shoulder height was only about 55 to 60 cm.

Dinosaur mini ponies. Kickass.
