Artiodactyls are ungulates (hoofed animals) and are best defined as
even-toed ungulates with either cloven hooves with two toes or spreading
feet with four toes. They are composed mainly of ruminants (cud-chewers)
and herbivores. They are usually found in groups or herds and range from
open grasslands to right in the house. Many artiodactyls have horns or
