Even And Odd-Toed Ungulate Genera

This group gathers Mammal Genera subcategory members belonging to the two classic hoofed-mammal orders, Artiodactyla, the even-toed ungulates, which bear weight on two of the five original toes, and Perissodactyla, the odd-toed ungulates, which bear weight on one or three. Artiodactyla contributes the bison and wild goat genera Bison and Capra, the deer genus Cervus and its close relatives the moose and reindeer genera Alces and Rangifer, the camel and its South American relatives across the genera Camelus, Lama and Vicugna, and the pig and warthog genera Sus and Phacochoerus; Perissodactyla contributes a single genus in this subcategory, Equus, which alone holds every living species of horse, ass and zebra.
