Hypohippus (Greek: "under" (hypos), "horse" (hippos)[1]) is an extinct genus of three-toed horse, which lived 17–11 million years ago.[2] It was the largest anchitherine equid about the size of a modern domestic horse, at Шаблон:Cvt[3][4] and Шаблон:Cvt long. It was a long-necked, high-shouldered browser with sub-hypsodont, lophodont (rhino-like) dentition, that fed on the tough vegetation of forest understory and shrubs. Its deep preorbital fossae and retraction of the nasal notch hint at the presence of a long, muscular and prehensile upper lip that would aid during selective browsing. Overall its ecology would have been more comparable to modern okapi than to grazing horses.[5] Fossils of it have been found in Nebraska, Colorado, and Montana.[6][7]
