This is hypo hippus. Its on a different branch if horse evolution! I did my thesis on the evolution of there feet!

Hypohippus equid

Rating: ƱƱƱƱƱ (perfect)

Hello fellow biologist I also adore early horses in particular the shared traits between the other members of perissodactyla and equids, and the adaptations horses developed to their evolutionary niches! it is really amazing that horses can live in hot equatorial deserts and the arctic circle. Hypohippus is a lovely little animal I am glad that although they left no descendants their cousins are still alive for us to adore

Unfortunately I did not do my thesis on equids I instead studied ruminant diseases in production animals so if anyone wants to know about this specific topic I am certainly the pony for you

Imagine a world in which horses of all colors, shapes, and sizes roamed the world, some barely larger than a small dog.
