Discuss Article
Ungulate Ungulates (meaning roughly "hoofed" or "hoofed animal") make up several orders of mammals , of which six survive:
Most large land mammals are ungulates.
Extinct ungulate groups include Ancylopoda , Amblypoda and Condylarths.
In addition to hooves, ungulates developed reduced canine teeth , bunodont molarss (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 perhaps as far as the Late Cretaceous . Most ungulates are herbivores , but a few are omnivores or predators (for example, whales).
