This video gives a general overview of the Evolution of the Horse, or as today is now called the Equus. This general overview, using pictures to portray how the horse has evolved. It starts out with a brief overview in words, saying that the Horse has been around this earth for longer than 50 million years. Then it goes to a  smaller chart comparing the hysodonty (teeth) of the horse to the relative body size of the horse. Following this chart then they start from the first species, which then leads up to the domestic horse which we know see in today’s day in age.

This video supplements my learning by giving me visuals. When you read scientific articles from databases, they sometimes lack a simple picture for one to make a connection with in their brain, so they can better retain this information. This video provides pictures with each species of the horse through the 50 million years of evolution. This gives the audience a clear overview and connection with how far this evolution process has come, and where the horse originally started from. I am a visual/hands on learner, so this video helps me make connections. These connections will stay within my memory longer and be better retained do to the simplicity of the video, but also way it is presented. Each picture of one species of the horse has its name to go with it. This therefore gives me the word and picture references to better store in my memory. I will also be able to recall this video in times I need to refresh my memory and get a better sense of which species is called what in a clear simplistic overview.
