How long did the merychippus live?
6746346
When did the Merychippus become extinct?
Right after the Ice Age.

This ancestor of the modern horse has been found to have lived in the area currently covered by the middle of the United States all the way down to the bottom of Central America.
What similarities between Merychippus horses and Modern Horses?
Merychippus is a relatively recent ancestor of the modern horse, at least compared to Eohippus, etc. It looked similar to the modern horse, although it still had three toes. The next period of horses only had one toe (more similar to the hoof as we know it).
What did the horse origanate from?
theEohippus or 'Dawn Horse' then the Orohippus, Merychippus and Pliohippus and guess what? The Przewalsiki's horse is the only remaining truly wild species of the horse. The similarities between Przewalski's horse and it's distant ancestor Pliohippus are easy to see.

John Peter Buwalda has written: 'New species of Merychippus' 'New mammalian faunas from Miocene sediments near Tehachapi Pass in the southern Sierra Nevada' -- subject(s): Accessible book, Fossil Mammals, Paleontology
What are modern horses evolved from?
modern horses have come through five different stages. The first was a hydraphomia, which existed about 55-40 million years ago. It was only ten inches tall and had four toes on each foot. The next was a mesohippus which were slitely larger with longer legs and only three toes(40-25 million years ago) The third stage was called a merychippus (15-5 million years ago) The last stage was a pliohippus (5-2 million years ago) which had flad grinding teeth and longer legs than the merychippus. The pliohippus also was the first stage to have one solid hoof instead of toes. The Modern horse is called a equus Caballus, it evolved 1.5 million years ago at the end of the last ice age. Hope that helped. info courtesy of a scholastic book on horse. lol

What does the word nimbostratus mean in latin?
Stratus means "paved, spread out", and nimbus means "cloud, storm", so the compound would mean something like "spread out like a cloud", or "spread out by means of a cloud", or perhaps something else-on the face of it, it doesn't have a very clear, precise meaning.

What latin root means breath?
Spirare, root spira-, means "to breathe". Spiritus, root spiritu-, means "breath". Anima/animus used to mean something like breath(ing) too, where anima is the breath of life, the soul, and animus the breath of emotions and the will; Greek anemos, "wind", is related. Then there is flere, root fle- meaning "to blow". Derived from this are inflation and conflation. No matching link found. No matching link found. No matching link found. No matching link found.

How do you do you say dessert in latin?
I'm not sure what the Romans actually used and whether they had an exact word for dessert, but I would probably use something like "sweet" or "delicious": dulcia "sweet things", or dulce "something sweet", or deliciae "delectable things".
