“Ungulates”

· While the term “ungulates” generally means “hooved mammal,” it is not easy to pin down a widely

  accepted formal or informal definition, and it seems to be a designation that has been dropped from

  modern taxonomic systems. It includes, but is not limited to, the oders of artiodactyla and perriso-

  dactyla (see below).
