Equus (genus) 54 million years ago (Mya). These animals had three toes on the hind feet and four on the front feet with small hooves in place of claws, but also had soft pads.<ref name="doi10.1126/science.1105458"></ref> Equids developed into larger, three-toed animals (e.g. "Mesohippus") during the Oligocene and Miocene. From there, the side toes became progressively smaller through the Pleistocene until the emergence of the single-toed "Equus". The genus "Equus", which includes all extant equines, is believed to have evolved from "Dinohippus", via the intermediate form "Plesippus". One of the oldest species is "Equus simplicidens", described as zebra-like with a donkey-like head shape.
Gloeoporus africanus (allantoid), measuring 3.8–4.2 by 0.6–0.7 μm. Gloeoporus africanus Gloeoporus africanus is a species of crust fungus in the family Irpicaceae. Found in Africa, it was described as a new species in 2018 by Paul Jung and Young Wood Lim. The type collection was made in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Uganda, where it was found growing on a fallen branch. It is somewhat similar in appearance to "Bjerkandera adusta", but is distinguished from that fungus by its angular pores and the white edges of the actively growing pore surface. "G. africanus" has a monomitic hyphal system, and its generative hyphae have
