five horse evolution fossils to understand the change in equine morphology in relation to the habitat and the natural selection within the horse population. Hyracotherium‚ one of the fossils observed‚ has morphologic characteristics that suggest life in thick‚ closed canopy forests. The species’ dental characteristic‚ bunodont‚ is an indication of a browsers eating habit. In addition‚ the small skull‚ small rostrum and a short masseter implies a diet of easily chewable and digestible soft foods
