Answer:
During the Miocene, horse evolution occurred mainly in North America; forms such as Parahippus, Miohippus (a form carried over from the preceding Oligocene Epoch), Anchitherium, Hypohippus, Pliohippus, and Merychippus are genera that represent great diversification and development. Also, the first dogs and bears appeared; the timing of the first emergence of the bear-dog Hemicyon occurs close to the origin of the bears. The first hyenas, springing from primitive civets, appeared in the Miocene, as did the first sabre-toothed cats of the subfamily Machairodontinae. Primitive antelope, deer, and giraffes appeared in Eurasia during the Miocene.
In Argentina the Santa Cruz Formation of Middle Miocene time provides an excellent record of the unusual Miocene fauna of South America. Marsupial carnivores, aberrant endentates (mammals resembling anteaters, armadillos, and sloths), litopterns (hoofed mammals similar to horses and camels), and toxodonts (mammals with long, curved incisors) are among the odd groups represented. These forms were able to evolve because of South America’s isolation from other regions. The evolution of the South American monkeys was also under way during the Miocene.
