An observation on the contents of the Morphology section of the Miohippus entry:
Two paragraphs read:
"Mesohippus became much larger than Miohippus. They weighed around 40 to 55 kilograms. They were somewhat larger than most earlier Eocene horse ancestors, but still much smaller than modern horses, which typically weigh about 500 kilograms.
Miohippus was larger than Mesohippus and ..."
Now that might mean that Mesohippus started out smaller/equal in size to Miohippus and then got bigger. Or it might not. Or it might just be a mistake. Not being an expert I've no idea what the answer is, and someone more knowledgeable might want to give a clearer explanation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.28.172.141 (talk) 09:30, 30 September 2010 (UTC)Reply
