Eohippus refers to an extinct genus of small horses that lived during the early Eocene epoch, around 50-60 million years ago.
If you're fascinated by paleontology or evolutionary biology, studying eohippus (also called *Hyracotherium*) can be fascinating. It represents one of the earliest ancestors of modern horses and provides insight into how species evolve over time.
Since eohippus is extinct, you can't literally "keep" one. However, you might collect fossils, replicas, or educational materials related to eohippus if you're interested in ancient life.
If you're using "eohippus" symbolically (e.g., representing something outdated or ancient), consider whether it aligns with your goals or message.
