Summary:
Scientists have discovered a previously
unrecognized genus of extinct horses that roamed North America during the last
ice age. The new findings are based on an analysis of ancient DNA from fossils
of the enigmatic 'New World stilt-legged horse' excavated from sites such as

goldfields of Canada's Yukon Territory.
