SAMPLE ANSWER
The pictures illustrate/demonstrates the evolution (development) of the horse, with the main change in foot structure over a 40 million-year period.
Overall, four development stages are shown in the diagram, beginning with Eohippus and ending with the development of the modern horse.
The first horse, Eohippus existed 40 million years ago, and was comparatively small with a short tail. The most significant characteristic was the structure of its foot with 4 relatively small digits. After10 million years, it evolved into the larger Mesohippus, with a foot structure of 3 digits and a longer tail.
Then, the next development of horse was Merychippus from 15 million years ago. It was a similar size to Mesohippus, but the feet had 3 digits which were way bigger than it ancestors.
Finally, the modern horse are totally different from its predecessors. It is comparatively bigger with a large mane and digit.
