	Ungulate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Perissodactyla: odd-toed ungulates such as horses and rhinos
		In addition to hooves, ungulates developed reduced canine teeth, bunodont molars (molars with low, rounded cusps), and an astragalus (one of the ankle bones at the end of the lower leg) with a short, robust head.
		Ungulates diversified rapidly in the Eocene, but are thought to date back as far as the late Cretaceous.

		Perissodactyla: odd-toed ungulates such as horses and rhinos

		Even-toed ungulates survived in niche roles, usually occupying marginal habitats, and it is presumably at that time that they developed their complex digestive systems, which allowed them to survive on lower-grade feed.
		The arrival of grasses during the Miocene (about 20 million years ago) saw a major change: grasses are very difficult to digest and the even-toed ungulates with their highly-developed stomachs were better able to adapt to this coarse, low-nutrition diet, and soon replaced the odd-toed ungulates as the dominant terrestrial herbivores.
		Nevertheless, artiodactyls were far from dominant at that time: the odd-toed ungulates (ancestors of today's horses and rhinos) were much more successful and far more numerous.

	The Ultimate Ungulate Page
		The odd- and even-toed ungulates are still referred to as the "true ungulates", but fossil and molecular evidence have resulted in the expansion of the term "ungulate".
		All mammals, and thus all ungulates, belong to the Kingdom Animalia and to the Phylum Chordata (Subphylum Vertebrata).
		Most of the weight is supported by the hoofs, with the result that the form of locomotion of ungulates is described as "unguligrade" (rather than "digitigrade", where the toes touch the ground, or "plantigrade", where the entire foot is on the ground, as in humans).

	Camel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A camel is either of the two species of large even-toed ungulate in the genus Camelus, the Dromedary (single hump) and the Bactrian Camel (double hump).
		Though born even smaller than a Llama calf, the Cama had the short ears and long tail of a camel, no hump and Llama-like cloven hooves rather than the Dromedary-like pads.
		Both are native to the dry and desert areas of Asia and northern Africa.

		The even toed ungulate (Artiodactyla) is named for having two or four digits.
		Perissodactyla, the odd toed ungulates, consist of a small order of herbivores that are distinguished from Artiodactlya by the presence of a prominent third digit.
		The emergence of ungulate type mammals is thought to have occurred during the mid-Tertiary period based upon the fossil record for the “Old World” tropics.
