WHAT DOES HIRACOTÉRIO MEAN IN PORTUGUESE?

Hyracotherium

Binomial name Hyracotherium leporinum Owen, 1841 Synonyms Eohippus Marsh, 1876 Hyracotherium was considered the oldest member of the horse family. Nowadays it is considered a paleoterid of the family Perissodactyla, related with the horses and brontotérios. Hyracotherium was the size of a dog and lived throughout the Northern Hemisphere in the Eocene between 60 and 45 million years ago. The first fossil of this animal was found in England by paleontologist Richard Owen in 1841, who thought it was a hyrax due to its dentition. Despite not having the complete skeleton he decided to call it "Hyrax-like beast". In 1876, Othniel Charles Marsh found the complete skeleton in America, which he named Eohippus. When he realized that the two findings were the same animal, the name Hyracotherium became official and Eohippus turned out to be a synonym. Hyracotherium was 60 cm long and 20 cm high to the shoulder. There were 4 toes on the front legs and 3 on the back legs, the hoof-like fingers on which they would evolve later.
