'''Even-toed ungulates''' are [[mammal]]s which form the order '''Artiodactyla''' ("even-toed"). They bear their body weight about equally on the third and fourth toes, rather than mostly or entirely on the third as in [[Odd-toed ungulates|perissodactyls]]. The artiodactyls are a large and remarkably diverse group of mammals, containing around 220 living [[species]] placed in 10 [[Family (biology)|families]]. The majority live in relatively open habitats, such as [[Plain (habitat)|plains]] and [[savanna]]s, but others dwell in forests, and one group is semiaquatic. Within the order can be found some of the fastest-running mammals and most nimble animals such as [[deer]], but the Artiodactyla also includes relatively slow and cumbersome species such as [[pig]]s and [[Hippopotamus|hippos]].<ref>'''Myers, P.'''
