| There are two types of
unguligrades when classifying them by their digits: artiodactyls and
perissodactyls. Artiodactyls such as this deer have an even
number of digits, while perissodactyls such as a horse have an odd
number of digits. Unguligrades such as this deer have very
specialized digits that have very litle mobility but have great
strength. This narrow pharyngeal formula allows deer to easily
travel through thich brush and rough terrain withouth geting their feet
tangled up. |
