Cremohipparion is an extinct genus of equid that lived in Eurasia and Africa during the Miocene through Pliocene.
Its habitat or biome consisted of non-forested, grassy plains, shortgrass prairie or steppes.
Taxonomy Cremohipparion was originally coined as a subgenus of Hipparion for a number of Eurasian species.QIU, Z., HUANG. W. AND GUO, Z., 1987. The Chinese hipparionine fossils (In Chinese, with an English summary). Paleontol. Sin., N.S., C.25: 1-243. Later, Bernor and Tobien (1989) elevated Cremohipparion to full generic status in their description of small hipparionin specimens from Samos, Greece.Bernor R.L.; Tobien H., 1989: Two small species of cremohipparion equidae mammalia from samos greece.
