Manticores, Hydras, Ursas and other super predators/omnivores have to eat too.

@marinus18
 
Yes, they’re all ponies, but they’re also Pegasi, Unicorns, and Earth Ponies. the same way that humans, dogs, and duck-billed platypi are mammals. Just because you are part of a higher order, doesn’t mean you can’t be divided by your suborders.

Earth ponies, unicorns and pegasi sort of form 1 group “ponies”.

@Background Pony #F8A1
 
It would be, yes.

@Rikmach  
Since Equestria is basically fantasy Europe mixed with Greek mythology, it would be strange if cows, donkeys or sheep were recent arrivals from some foreign country. Where would they have come from?

@Background Pony #F8A1
 
We don’t know with certainty. However, we seem to see other races living within Equestria’s borders without issue. Zecora and Cranky Doodle off the top of my head live in/around Ponyville itself.

@Rikmach  
Whereas, in the present…?

That… was discussing the state of things over 1,000 years ago.

From S01E01:  
>the two sisters maintained balance for their kingdom and their subjects: all the different types of ponies.

@Zaedrin - no, they don’t.  
It’s all genetics :)

Wow, Earth Ponies must breed like rabbits!

@DanielTepesKraus - saying that Greek is a derivative of Latin is like saying that wolves had been bred from dogs. It’s the Latin that was, not derived from, but strongly influenced, by Greek language.
 
And regarding the mules, author might want to read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mule#Fertility  
There must be quite a lot of interspecies going on in Equestria to keep the numbers…

It seems that there would be more pegasi than unicorns.

@The Twelfth Doctor Whoof
 
So… What you’re saying is equestria is extremely racist and refuses nonponies citizenship?

To be fair, most of the show has been set in Ponyville, which has been described as “founded by Earth ponies”. That suggests that Earth ponies are the majority in the show setting. If we had more episodes set in Canterlot or Cloudsdale, the number of Unicorns and Pegasi would probably even up with the Earth ponies.

@WatermelonRat
 
I have mad a full count, but I’ll have to find the thread it’s on.
 
@Background Pony #BFD2  
Actually, it’s only a bit less than half.

@The Twelfth Doctor Whoof  
Greek is a derivative of latin, though, and -us words derived from latin are pluralized as “i” in english.

@PonyPon  
Like most pie charts, the data was produced using rectilogical statistics.

@DanielTepesKraus  
Both spellings are kind of correct. I prefer “Gryphon”, though.
 
And actually, “Pegasi” is not a proper plural for “Pegasus”, despite the show’s constant use of it. As a Greek name, Pegasós, its plural - such that one can exist - should be “Pegases”. Adding an “i” is a Latin-ism, and thus incorrect.
 
Also, I reject this piechart as pure headcanon. My headcanon (which is totally moar valid you guyz) says Earthponies are an outright majority, and non-ponies aren’t citizens and thus don’t count on these charts.

and only 2% are male

This is actually pretty legit, knowing that Earth ponies take care of the crops well, there has to be alot of them right?

I’d like to see an actual count of how many distinct individuals of each kind of pony have been shown.

@Background Pony #F215  
Okay.

@gg666  
Techically the show spells it “griffon”.
