Even-Toed Ungulates | Artiodactyla

Description
Description

Even-toed ungulates, or Artiodactyla, are a diverse mammalian order characterized by having an even number of toes on each foot, usually two or four. This group includes many familiar species such as pigs, camels, deer, giraffes, and cattle. They inhabit a wide range of environments across the globe, from the African savannas to Arctic tundra. Artiodactyls evolved around 50 million years ago, diversifying into numerous niches. They possess various adaptations for survival, such as ruminant digestion in cattle and deer, and remarkable migratory abilities in wildebeests. Their evolutionary success is partly due to their efficient locomotion and specialized diets.

Anatomy
Anatomy

Even-toed ungulates typically have sturdy bodies with an even number of toes on each hoof—often two or four—which aids in weight distribution and stability. Many, like deer and giraffes, have elongated legs for swift running, crucial for escaping predators. Their varied teeth structures, such as the flat molars of cows, are perfect for grinding vegetation. Some species, like pigs, have a keen sense of smell, aiding in food search. Communication varies: pigs grunt, deer bellow. These adaptations have enabled even-toed ungulates to thrive in diverse habitats, from grasslands to forests, showcasing their remarkable evolutionary journey.

Human Interaction
Human Interaction

Humans have had a long relationship with even-toed ungulates, utilizing them as sources of meat, milk, leather, and labor. Domesticated species like cows, pigs, and goats are central to agriculture and have been for millennia. In pop culture, characters like Pumbaa from "The Lion King" have endeared these animals to the public.

While many even-toed ungulates are domesticated, some wild species face threats from habitat loss and hunting. Conservation efforts are in place to protect these species; for instance, the comeback of the American bison is a conservation success story, symbolizing the potential for coexistence and the restoration of natural ecosystems.

Common Questions
Common Questions
Which animals are even-toed ungulates?

Also, there are 220 species of even-toed ungulates while there are 17 species of odd-toed ungulates.

What are the shared characteristics of even-toed ungulates?

Shared characteristics of even-toed ungulates include them being mostly herbivores, and having 2 or 4 functional toes. Almost all species of even-toed ungulates have a form of weapon like unbranched horns, forked horns, antlers, well-developed canines or tusks. They also have grooves at their ankle joints while helps them resist lateral motion.

Impala (Aepyceros melampus)
Scale illustration of an average Impala compared to a human

Eastern and Southern Africa are the ideal places to find the Impala (Aepyceros melampus). This is in the savannas and woodlands, but these places should be near a water source. Male impalas are larger and grow slender, lyre-shaped horns. Otherwise, all have glossy, reddish brown coats. Impalas have a black streak on the upper part of the buttocks, a white underbelly, white rings around the eye, and a bushy tail. They are usually diurnal and browsers, and form or live in three distinct herds: female herds, bachelor herds, and territorial males. A common feature it is known for is its anti-predator strategy of leaping.

Impalas have a standing shoulder height between 27.6”-36.2” (70-92 cm), overall body length from 47.2”-63” (120-160 cm), standing height of roughly 41.7”-55.5” (106-141 cm), and a body width of 8.7”-11.8” (22-30 cm). The weight of a Impala is between 88-168 lb (40-76 kg). Impalas have a typical lifespan of 10-25 years.

Kob (Kobus kob)
Comparison illustration of the size of a Kob to a typical person

The Kob (Kobus kob) is abundant in Central, West, and East Africa in the savannahs and wet grassy floodplains where it can find fresh grass. You can find these diurnal animals in male, female, or juvenile herds. Their coat is short and reddish-brown. However, the throat area and belly may have white patches. Their forelegs may also show black strips. Males have curved upward, turning horns with transverse corrugations. The kob has a lek mating system. Besides, it also migrates. This herbivore prefers grass and reeds and is active early in the day or late afternoon.

Kobs have a standing shoulder height between 32.3”-39.4” (82-100 cm), overall body length from 49.2”-70.9” (125-180 cm), standing height of roughly 39.4”-57.9” (100-147 cm), and a body width of 9.8”-14.6” (25-37 cm). The weight of a Kob is between 198-265 lb (90-120 kg). Kobs have a typical lifespan of 17-22 years.

Highland Cattle
Scale illustration of an average Highland Cattle compared to a human

The Highland is a rustic Scottish breed and originating in the Scottish Highlands and the islands of the Outer Hebrides in Scotland. Highlands have a shaggy golden coat with large horns extruding on the side. The reason for the long shaggy coat is to endure intemperate conditions in the fields. The first herd-book dates to 1885; two separate kinds of Highland – a smaller island type, typically black, and a larger mainland variety, typically golden – were registered as single breeds. It is primarily produced for beef and has been exported to many other countries. It is said that milk and meat in the Highlands are high in fat and can be used to lower cholesterol.

Highland Cattle have a shoulder height between 35.4”-47.2” (90-120 cm), body length from 62”-81” (157-206 cm), standing height of roughly 37.4”-48.8” (95-124 cm), and a body width of 19.3”-25.2” (49-64 cm). Weights of Highland Cattle vary between males and females with males weighing between 1500-2000 lb (680-910 kg) and females from 900-1200 lb (410-545 kg). Highland Cattle have a typical productive lifespan of 1-3 years and natural lifespan of 15-22 years.

Addax (Addax nasomaculatus)
Comparison illustration of the size of a Addax to a typical person

The Addax (Addax nasomaculatus) is native to the Sahara desert. It can also be called white antelope, or the screwhorn antelope. In these areas, you can see it in the dunes, savannah, and grasslands. During summer, the coat is sandy or whitish and in winter it is grayish brown. Both sexes have a black tip of the hair on the forehead and horns. Besides, the face, ears, hips, legs, and belly have visible white markings. It lives in herds controlled by a dominant male and eats desert grass and scrubs. The addax is large, heavy, and a slow runner.

Addaxes have a standing shoulder height between 33.5”-37.4” (85-95 cm), overall body length from 45.3”-51.2” (115-130 cm), standing height of roughly 35.4”-39.4” (90-100 cm), and a body width of 12.6”-14.2” (32-36 cm). The weight of a Addax is between 132-298 lb (60-135 kg). Addaxes have a typical lifespan of 19-25 years.

Black Angus Cattle
Scale illustration of an average Black Angus Cattle compared to a human

The Black Angus, a pure, pollinated beef cattle breed, also known for many years as ”Aberdeen Angus”. The origin of the Black Angus is unclear, but the breed is closely related to the curly-coated Galloway and is local to the Northeastern parts of Scotland. Often referred to as the oldest breed in Britain. Characteristic of the Black Angus is the black color, the pollinated eyes, the small and low neck. Angus is a cattle breed of the highest rank and, for years, purebred or crossbred Angus steers have occupied prominent positions of distinction at the leading fat-stock shows in the United Kingdom and the United States.

Black Angus Cattle have a shoulder height between 53.1”-57.1” (135-145 cm), body length from 86”-94” (218-238 cm), standing height of roughly 57.1”-61” (145-155 cm), and a body width of 22.4”-24.4” (57-62 cm). Weights of Black Angus Cattle vary between males and females with males weighing between 1850-2300 lb (840-1045 kg) and females from 1150-1250 lb (520-565 kg). Black Angus Cattle have a typical productive lifespan of 2-3 years and natural lifespan of 10-15 years.
