Miohippus and Eohippus, both early ancestors of modern horses, exhibit notable differences in their hind feet. Miohippus has three functional toes with more developed and elongated limbs, indicating a shift towards greater speed and efficiency in movement. In contrast, Eohippus has four toes on its hind feet, with the inner toe being smaller and less functional. This evolutionary progression reflects adaptations to changing environments and lifestyles over time.

Eohippus different to the modern day horse?
Eohippus, often referred to as the "dawn horse," lived around 55 million years ago and differs significantly from modern horses in several ways. It was much smaller, about the size of a dog, and had a more primitive, flexible body structure with multiple toes—specifically, four toes on its front feet and three on its hind feet. Eohippus also had a diet that consisted mainly of soft, leafy vegetation, whereas modern horses are adapted for grazing on tougher grasses. Over millions of years, evolution led to the development of larger size, single-toed hooves, and adaptations for a more varied diet in modern horses.

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
