They were most closely related to the extinct chalicotheres, which they greatly resemble, and may have been their immediate ancestors. They were, however, much smaller than the later forms, being around the size of a sheep. Like their later relatives, they were probably browsers on leaves and other soft vegetation, and, unlike most other ungulates, had claws on their feet.[2] The Eomoropidae is most likely a paraphyletic group within Chalicotherioidea.[3] References1. ^PaleoBiology Database: Eomoropidae, basic info {{Taxonbar|from=Q5381801}}{{paleo-oddtoedungulate-stub}}2. ^{{cite book |author= Savage, RJG |author2= Long, MR |last-author-amp= yes|year=1986 |title= Mammal Evolution: an illustrated guide|publisher= Facts on File|location=New York|pages= 199|isbn= 0-8160-1194-X}} 3. ^{{Cite book | last = Jacobs | first = Louis L. |author2=Scott, Kathleen Marie | title = Evolution of Tertiary Mammals of North America: Terrestrial carnivores, ungulates, and ungulatelike mammals | publisher = Cambridge University Press | year = 1998 | location = | pages = | url = | doi = | isbn = 978-0-52135519-3}} 2 : Chalicotheres|Eocene odd-toed ungulates |
