BranchThe evolution of horses over the last 50 million years is truly remarkable. Horses looked so different back then, it's amazing to see the difference now. Because there is so much information about every single type of horse that the modern horse began with, and many researchers have put the information into timelines and graphs for people to view. It looks a bit like a tree if you look at the picture. It has so many different branches. To aid in understanding, this article will look at the different forms of horses, including their age and appearance. Introduction In this article I will talk about how horses have evolved over time. You may know them as these tall, hairy, hoofed animals, but they didn't look like that at all. They had toes and footprints like those of zebras. Their teeth also looked much smaller 50 million years ago, with no space between them. I will talk to you about all this in the next two pages. Starting from the beginning, I will explain what Eohippus is. Researchers found that this small animal was the first known horse, which lived 50-60 million years ago. I will also talk about Miohippus, who lived shortly after Eohippus. Other ancestors of the Eohippus are the Mesohippus, the Neohipparion and other forms from which the horse evolved. I also explained how their teeth have changed and how this affects their diet. I hope this helps you appreciate and understand horses better. I promise you, after reading this research paper you will see horses in a different sense. Eohippus 50-60 million years ago Eohippus, meaning "dawn horse", was the first known horse ever documented. The... middle of paper... and loving. Treating them well can make the difference between owning a psychotic pet and a pet that will be 100% loyal to you at all times. Conclusion Horses have evolved, in my opinion, for the better. They are by far my favorite animal and I wouldn't change it for the world. They are so kind hearted and are always there with a listening ear and a hungry stomach. If horses had not evolved, they would be completely useless to us. They wouldn't be able to help us with farming and all the other things they are known for in history. Think about how our history would be drastically changed by this catastrophic event? How would people have gotten around as they did, or fought in wars without their trusty steed at their side? We would be completely lost without their strength and speed. Horses truly were, and still are, mysterious wild creatures.
