We can therefore expect the horse's maintenance behaviours to be refined towards maximising the efficiency of grazing over long periods of time. Each branch represents a clade, or a large family of related species. Each species was good in its day. Dashed line represents development of grazing rather than browsing lifestyle.
6) Fusion of some of the lower limb bones. (7) Development of specialised locomotor systems which increase the efficiency of certain gaits. This narrows down the field of potential threats. These included: (1) Development of long lasting, high crowned teeth (hypsodonty) with a larger grinding surface area. (2) Elongation of the muzzle, which allows the retention of the maximum number of functioning blocklike teeth. (3) Development of hindgut fermentation.
