Eohippus, also known as Hyracotherium, lived on Earth approximately 55-50 million years ago during the early Eocene epoch. This ancient horse-like mammal evolved into larger equine species over time.
The first species reconized as a horse was eohippus. Eohippus was fox-sized and weighed 90 lb. It's coat was striped or splotched and it lived in marshy forest areas.
Natural selection likely favored individuals of Eohippus that were better adapted to their environment, such as those with longer limbs for faster running to evade predators or with teeth suited for browsing on tough vegetation. Over time, these advantageous traits became more common in the population while less beneficial traits were minimized, leading to the evolution of the species.

The earliest fossils found in the horse family belong to an animal called Hyracotherium, also known as Eohippus. These fossils date back to the Eocene epoch, about 55 million years ago. Eohippus was a small, dog-sized animal with multiple toes on its feet, which is different from modern horses.
A year on Mars is equal to 687 Earth days. That is about 2 Earth years.
where did eohippus live
Eohippus is thought to have had a tail like a donkey.
Eohippus
Dog
It is larger (eohippus was the size of a medium-sized dog) and it has lost most of its toes. You can see how the eohippus evolved into the horse by looking at the feet of a tapir, which represents the feet of mesohippus.
the EOHIPPUS lived in Asia and north America

The Eohippus became extinct in the mezozoic era (middle age era). It became extinct because of the climate changes and the struggle to survive. Then it changed into a Miohippus after milions of years. - a fifth grader wrote this answer

Eohippus .
An eohippus is the earliest known type of horse. They where about the size of a fow with four toes in the front and three toes in the back.Horse Isle Answer: dawn horse
no, the Eohippus was a small fox/dog like creature, which had four toes on its front feet and 3 toes on its back feet. They supported pads much like a dogs and were like that to deal with the terrain which was more forest like when the Eohippus was around. Hope that helps :-)
