Au contraire. Horses evolved in North America, and spread from here to the rest of the world. They went extinct here and were reintroduced by the Spanish. Possums are a much later addition (approx 4 million years ago) addition to the fauna. |
Horses lost their place in line by being extinct for 10 thousand years. :angry: |
