'''Artiodactyla''' is an order of mammals that includes even-toed ungulates, which bear weight equally on two of their five toes: the third and fourth. The other three toes are either present, absent, vestigial, or pointing posteriorly. Artiodactyla is divided into four suborders: Ruminantia, Suina, Tylopoda, and Whippomorpha. | '''Artiodactyla''' is an order of mammals that includes even-toed ungulates, which bear weight equally on two of their five toes: the third and fourth.
