===Taxonomy=== [[File:Zebras Ngorongoro Crater.jpg|thumb|[[Plains zebra]]]] [[File:Diceros bicornis.jpg|thumb|[[Black rhinoceros]]]] [[File:Elaphurus davidianus 001.jpg|thumb|[[Père David's deer]]]] [[File:Hippopotamus - 04.jpg|thumb|[[Hippopotamus]]]] [[File:Bluewhale877.jpg|thumb|[[Blue whale]]]] [[File:Comdolph.jpg|thumb|[[Common dolphin]]]] Below is a simplified taxonomy (assuming that ungulates do indeed form a natural grouping) with the extant families, in order of the relationships. Keep in mind that there were still some grey areas of conflict, such as the case with the relationship between the [[pecora]]n families and the [[baleen whale]] families. See each family for the relationships of the species as well as the controversies in their respective articles. * '''Euungulata<ref name=asher/>''' ** '''[[Odd-toed ungulate|Perissodactyla]]''' (Mesaxonian ungulates) *** '''Hippomorpha''' **** [[Equidae]]: Horses, asses and zebras *** '''[[Ceratomorpha]]''' **** [[Tapiridae]]: Tapirs **** [[Rhinocerotidae]]: Rhinoceroses ** '''[[Artiodactyla]] (= [[Cetartiodactyla]])''' (Paraxonian ungulates) *** '''[[Tylopoda]]''' **** [[Camelidae]]: Camels and llamas *** '''Artiofabula''' **** '''[[Suina]]''' ***** [[Tayassuidae]]: Peccaries ***** [[Suidae]]: Pigs **** '''[[Cetruminantia]]''' ***** '''[[Ruminantia]]''' ****** [[Tragulidae]]: Chevrotains ****** '''[[Pecora|Cervoidea]]''' ******* [[Antilocapridae]]: Pronghorn ******* [[Giraffidae]]: Giraffes and okapi ******* [[Cervidae]]: Deer ******* [[Moschidae]]: Musk deer ******* [[Bovidae]]: Cattle and antelopes ***** '''[[Whippomorpha]]''' ****** [[Hippopotamidae]]: Hippopotamuses ****** '''[[Cetacea]]''' ******* '''[[Mysticeti]]''' ******** [[Balaenidae]]: Bowhead and right whales ******** [[Cetotheriidae]]: Pygmy right whale ******** [[Balaenopteridae]]: Rorquals ******* '''[[Odontoceti]]''' ******** '''[[Physeteroidea]]''' ********* [[Physeteridae]]: Sperm whale ********* [[Kogiidae]]: Lesser sperm whales ******** '''[[Platanistoidea]]''' ********* [[Platanistidae]]: Indian river dolphins ******** '''[[Ziphioidea]]''' ********* [[Ziphiidae]]: Beaked whales ******** '''[[Lipotidae|Lipotoidea]]''' ********* [[Lipotidae]]: Baiji (functionally extinct) ******** '''[[Inioidea]]''' ********* [[Iniidae]]: Amazonian river dolphins ********* [[Pontoporiidae]]: La Plata dolphin ******** '''[[Delphinoidea]]''' ********* [[Monodontidae]]: Beluga and narwhal ********* [[Phocoenidae]]: Porpoises ********* [[Delphinidae]]: Oceanic dolphins
