Eohippus the first prehistoric horse is also known by what name?
The true answer for this answer is Hyracotherium. It had 4 toes on each of its front feet, but 3 on each of its hind legs. It then envolved to a series of different animals, but at the end, the result was gorgeous-- it was Equus (Also known as the modern horse). I really like this questoin, but it also has another answer-- Dawn horse. Eohippus means Dawn Horse, so that is a nother answer to your awesome answer! :D
