奇蹄目 Odd-toed ungulate

(重定向自Perissodactyla)

奇蹄目(学名:Perissodactyla)是哺乳动物中的一个目,包括有奇数脚趾的动物。原始奇蹄动物的脚趾是前三后四,现生的奇蹄动物貘就是这样的脚趾结构(马来貘脚趾是前四趾后三趾)。草食,胃的构造和偶蹄目部分成员多的胃室相较简单,但盲肠大而呈囊状可协助消化植物纤维。奇蹄目有三个亚目,分别是马型亚目(Hippomorpha)(包括马科和已经灭绝的雷兽科),爪兽亚目(Ancylopoda)(已经灭绝)和角型亚目(Ceratomorpha)(包括貘科和犀科)。奇蹄目的化石非常丰富,史前曾是十分繁盛的种群,分化出形态各异的种类。史前的奇蹄动物包括爪兽(Chalecothere)、巨犀(Indricothere)等。现代的奇蹄目整体呈衰落状态。由于偶蹄目更能适合消化植物纤维,所以奇蹄目的生态位被后起的偶蹄目(Artiodactyla)逐渐取代,现在仅存16个野生物种(包括犀科5种、貘科4种、马科7种),且多数处于濒危状态。

Odd-toed ungulate 奇蹄目

(重定向自Perissodactyla)
The white rhinoceros is the largest living perissodactyl
South American tapirs are among the few species of extant perissodactyl with a trunk
The distribution of most species, such as the Indian rhinoceros, has declined in recent decades.

Perissodactyls, otherwise known as odd-toed ungulates, compose an order of mammals characterized by an odd number of toes and by hindgut fermentation with somewhat simple stomachs. As large grazers they digest plant cellulose in their intestines rather than in one or more stomach chambers, unlike the even-toed ungulates. The order includes three extant families: Equidae, including horses, donkeys, and zebras, Rhinocerotidae, rhinos and Tapiridae, tapirs, with a total of about 17 species. In spite of their very different appearance they were recognized as related families in the 19th century by the zoologist Richard Owen, who also coined the term.
