Teeth and toes
During the Miocene epoch, three-toed horses, such as hipparion, evoleved high-crowned teeth with grinding surfaces, enabling them to eat tough grasses. On each foot, the side toes became reduced and the central toe modified into a single weight-bearing hoof, allowing them to run fast across the plains.
