The diagram demonstrates the evolution of the horse with particular emphasis on changing foot structure. Beginning with Eohippus-40 million years and evolve into form modern horse. Overall, Eohippus led to modern horse have evolutionary trend. Including increases a size, reduction a number of hooves, lengthening of the legs and development a mane.
In 40 million years ago, type of horse called “Eohippus”. Eohippus develop with foot structure have five totes and small hooves. Eohippus equipped four totes in the ground while fifth was off the ground. Lived account to 30 million the previous years, Eohippus evolve into Mesohippus form. Mesohippus is the type of horse was present 30 million years ago. Form of this type horse increase a size and build. Mesohippus was a dog sized animal. including skulls, Mesohippus had a relatively skull. Reduction a number of hooves Mesohippus had small hooves at end of totes. It provided better for running in the ground.
In 15 million years ago, the next generation had almost perfect shape called”Merychippus”.This type of
Horse still increases a size and slender while stand in the ground. Merychippus’s mane grow from the top of the head to the back. Merychippus’s hooves increase a size at top .It still provided benefit for running or stand rough. The last evolutionary the modern horse have a complete shape. Size and build still retain, mane increase more than old generation. The Morden horse’s legs strongest in all of horse in given table. considering point of prominent in hooves, had a joint of hoof, it help Morden horse can adapt to terrain problems.
