Orohippus and later on was replaced by many other creatures. Eventually all of these animals disappeared after some time, with the exception of the Dinohippus, which was lastly replaced by the Equus.

observed by the most deforested regions of the Amazon. It gives evidence of the potential shift in vegetation and further feedback on climate and river corridor dynamics (Davidson et al., 2012; Funatsu et al., 2012). This could partly explain the rapid succession of extreme hydrological events (droughts in 2005, 2010, floods in 2009, 2012, 2014) (Marengo et al., 2011; Zeng et al., 2008) in the last decade.
