Ungulata
in zoölogy, a provisional group of mammals, the living members of which correspond to the Pecora and Belluæ of Linnæus, and the Ruminantia and Pachydermata of Cuvier. The dentition is heterodont and diphyodont, the milk-teeth not being completely changed UNGVÁR till the animal attains its full development; the molars have broad crowns with tuberculated or ridged surfaces; clavicals absent; toes with broad, blunt nails, or, in most cases, with hoofs, more or less inclosing the ungual phalanges; scaphoid and lunar bones of carpus distinct. The group is usually divided into two minor groups: U. vera, often called simply ungulata and subungulata. and subungulata .
All the species are eminently adopted for a terrestrial life, and, generally speaking, for a vegetable diet. Some are , to a greater or less extent, omnivorous, as Sus; but no genus is distinctly predaceous. Also, true ungulates; a group of mammals classed as an order, or as a group of the wider U. Feet never plantigrade, functional toes never more than four, the first digit being suppressed; allantois largely developed: placenta non-deciduate; uterus bicornuate; mammæ usually few and inguinal (as in Equus), or many and abdominal (as in Sus), but never wholly pectoral.
There are two divisions: antiodactyla and perissodactyla, first indicated by Cuvier and established by Owen, who proposed the names now in general use.
In palæontology, the Ungulata appear first in the Eocene Tertiary, in which period the Artiodactyla and Perissodactyla were already differentiated.
