Parahippus appears to be the evolutionary „link“ between the old forest-dwelling horses and the modern plains-dwelling grazers. It has 3 toes, like primitive horses, but the side toes are smaller. They are „horse-faced,“ or long-headed with the eye socket well back from the middle of the skull. W
Species in this genus lived from 24 -17 million years ago.

The Museum’s collections contain many examples of extinct species. Those shown here vanished in roughly the last 100 years. These specimens help us to understand the past and allow us to ask new questions about biodiversity’s changing landscape. Because these species no longer exist in the wild, mus
