There are two potential answers to this, depending upon what you want to call "having a navicular bone". The navicular bone is the third phalanx of the third digit in the horse. As the horse is the only species that calls the third phalanx of the third digit the navicular bone, one potential answer is "the horse". However, there are many species that have the third phalanx of the third digit, although it generally isn't given a special name. Based on this, the other possible answer is "most mammals".
