	Re: What is the scientific name for a horse?
		Interestingly (to me anyway) both words, equus and caballus, are Latin for "horse".
		Apparently, "caball" was a more dialectic term than "equus", that is, it was not as widely used by Latin speakers, so it lost out for genus name.
		As a genus name, Equus alone is used to refer to horses and all of their relatives, including donkeys (Equus asinus), three kinds of zebras (Equus burchelli, Equus grevyi, and Equus zebra), and wild Asian horses (Equus hemionus).

		The Yukon horse (Equus lambei) was a relatively small caballoid (closely related to the modern horse Equus caballus) species.
		Modern horses (Equus) arose in North America from a progressive Pliocene (5 to 2 million years ago) horse Pliohippus that occupied the continent during the Pleistocene (2 million to 10,000 years ago) and spread to other continents at the beginning of the Pleistocene.
		Research on teeth of the Yukon horses from the caves indicates that predators were mainly responsible for gathering the horse bones in Cave I, whereas Caves II and III bones seem to have accumulated through accidental or natural deaths.
