The study of conservation biology has worked to prevent endangered species from becoming extinct. Many members of Equidae (wild horses, asses, zebras) have nearly been pushed to extinction. In order to prevent such events from occurring, studies based on their ecology and anatomy have been done to get a better understanding of these species. Many studies have looked at the anatomy and ecology of several genera but no one has studied wild equids in particular. The aim of this study is to determine limb bone shape differences in various equid species based on their habitat. To accomplish this, photographs were taken of Equid limb bones and semi-landmarks were plotted. Centroid size and Procrutes superimposition were conducted to compare size and shape. Regression and Canonical Variance Analysis were conducted to determine significant differences occur between equid species, and if those differences relate to ecology.
