Miohippus Model_UO Natural History Museum

Use WASD & Mouse/Use VR headset to move around. This shows a Miohippus Model from the UO Natural History Museum. A Miohippus is small sized horse. Rather than having hooves, small and medium horses had toes. In North America, horses evolved from small to medium 55 million years ago but were extinct around 10,000 years ago. North America did not get large horses until the 16th century when Spanish settlers reintroduced them. See what happens when you walk near the model and click inside the outlined area.
