*”zooamata” is a clade of mammals consisting of
Ferae (carnivores and pangolins)
Perissodactyla (odd-toed ungulates)*
.
Together with Cetartiodactyla (even-toed ungulates and whales) and chiroptera (bats) it forms Scrotifera (formerly Ferungulata), and is part of Laurasiatheria.
The name is constructed from Greek and Latin to mean “animal friends”, a reference to the inclusion of cats, dogs, and horses.
A conflicting proposal links the Perissodactyla and Cetartiodactyla in a clade named Euungulata.
.
*both proposals are based on molecular evidence, but neither of these clades is fully supported*
