Anchitherium was a browsing (leaf eating) horse that originated in the early Miocene of North America, being found as far south as Panama,[1] and subsequently dispersed to Europe and Asia,[2][3] where it gave rise to the larger bodied genus Sinohippus.[4] It was around Template:Convert high at the shoulder, and probably represented a side-branch of horse evolution that left no modern descendants.[5]
