"odd-toed ungulates"

*HORSES*

.

*members of the order perissodactyla, otherwise known as odd-toed ungulates, are mammals characterized by an odd number of toes and by hindgut fermentation with somewhat simple stomachs*

.

(unlike the even-toed ungulates, they digest plant cellulose in their intestines rather than in one or more stomach chambers)

The order includes three extant families: Equidae (horses, donkeys, and zebras), Rhinocerotidae (rhinos) and Tapiridae (tapirs), with a total of about 17 species.

.

(in spite of their very different appearance, they were recognized as related families in the 1800s by the zoologist ‘richard owen’, who also coined the order name)
