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. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Ungulate   (500 words)

Even-toed ungulate 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. 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. www.datamass.net /ev/even-toed-ungulate.html   (471 words)

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). www.ultimateungulate.com   (651 words)

Florida Key Deer...The Even-Toed Ungulate 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.
