Why do horses have two toes?
Though you can only see what is called the "hoof" at the end of each leg, horses, like all mammals, started out with five toes. The modern horse currently stands on "tip-toe" on the end of the toenail of the middle toe. The other 4 toes have become vestigial due to the process of evolution. The two outer toes are completely gone, but the other two can still be seen as the "chestnut" and "splint" higher on the leg.
