What else can I help you with?
Which value would be required to calculate how long ago the most recent ancestor of ungulates lived?
All the above
How many bones are in the giraffes legs?
There are 10 bones in each leg. All ungulates have the same number in each leg. That would be a total of 40 bones.
Are horses even or odd toed?
Horses are odd-toed ungulates, as they have one large hoof on each foot with an odd number of toes - one central toe, which is surrounded by reduced toes or vestigial remnants. This distinguishes them from even-toed ungulates, like cows and deer, which have an even number of toes on each foot.
Can you breed a gemsbok with a horse and what will the foal look like if you do?
You could, but no offspring would be had because a gemsbok, being an antelope of the Family Bovidae (related to domestic cattle), and the horse being of the Family Equidae (of horses), are quite unrelated ungulates, and no offspring has ever been naturally created between such distantly or unrelated animals before.
Do hares eat cud?
No. Only ungulates (cattle, antelop, deer) eat cud. Basically, they eat grass, but they cannot digest grass (no mammals can.) So they developed a system of outsourcing the job to somebody else. They have symbiotic bacteria in a big pouch in their stomach. When they eat grass, the grass goes into the pouch. The bacteria eat the grass and multiplies enormously. Then the ungulates would belch out the lump of bacteria and chew it again. That is cud. It is high-protein, rich in minerals and very good food. Rabbits simply do not have symbiotic bacteria pouch in their stomach, so they do not eat cud. Interestingly, the Bible (Levictus) wrongly described that rabbits chew cud.
Approximately how many animals can walk as soon as they're born?
When an animal is mobile or relatively mobile from the moment it is born they are said to be Precocial. Some Familiar examples of these animals are ungulates, Guinea pigs, some birds, and hares.I find this a difficult question to answer with certainty; Birds make up a large number of precocial species with the number being ~1000 in total (10%)Other notable groups include these:3 species of elephants6 species of Guinea pig32 species of hare89 Cetaceans146 Ungulates (60%)230 Histricognath rodentsA conservative estimate for the number of mammal and bird species which are precocial to super-precocial would be approximately 1600.
What is the favorite food for a lion?
Lions are carnivores. So, they would mostly hunt giraffes, buffaloes, zebras, wildebeests, wild hogs, and antelopes.Since lions are carnivores, most meats.
Why does red meat increase your carbon footprint so much while being a vegetarian has little influence on your cabon footprint?
It takes tremendously more vegetable food to feed the animals that people then eat, then it would take to feed people vegetables rather than meat. It is also true that the digestive process of ungulates such as cows tends to release a lot of methane into the atmosphere.
What are lions second favorite thing to eat?
Lions primarily prefer large ungulates, such as zebras and wildebeests, as their main source of food. While these are their favorite prey, their second favorite would typically include smaller animals like gazelles or even scavenging from carcasses of other predators. They may also target other mammals when necessary, depending on availability. Overall, their diet is flexible and can vary based on their habitat and the specific prey available.
What are all of the clades of the magnorder Boreoeutheria?
Very briefly, Boreoeutheria are divided into two extant principal clades: Euarchontoglires and Laurasiatheria. Euarchontoglires include in turn, Archonta and Glires. The extant orders constituting Archonta are Scandentia (tree-shrews), Primates (lemurs etc., monkeys and people) and Dermoptera (colugos). Glires include orders Lagomorpha (hares, rabbits) and Rodentia (porcupines, cavies, squirrels, beavers, rats, mice, gerbils, etc.). Laurasiatheria include: Eulipotyphla and Scrotifera. (Eulipotyphla are a depleted version of Lipotyphla which in turn was a remnant of the old Insectivora. Eulipotyphla were subsequently split into Soricomorpha (shrews) and Erinaceomorpha (hedgehogs & gymnures) but then recombined by those who accept that erinaceomorphs are nested within soricomorphs). So order, Eulipotyphla, is what we call them. Scrotifera include order, Chiroptera (bats) and Fereuungulata. (Yes, there's a syllabic division between the two 'U's!) Fereuungulata contain: Ferae - order, Pholidota (pangolins which have been estranged from anteaters) and order, Carnivora (cats, hyenas, dogs, bears, weasels, raccoons, seals, etc.) Now the ungulates probably form a single clade alongside Ferae and are called, Ungulata, or maybe Euungulata (proper ungulates unlike those imposters, the elephants and relatives which have been shunted elsewhere). If Ferae turn out to be nested within ungulates then the (Eu)ungulate clade would no longer stand. We now arrive among ungulates. Two major groups: order, Perissodactyla (horses, tapirs, rhinos) and what seems to be fairly universally referred to these days as Cetartiodactyla. Cetartiodactyla include the even-toed ungulates (camels, pigs, hippos, giraffes, antelopes, cattle, sheep, goats, deer) traditionally referred to order, Artiodactyla, but the so-called order, Cetacea (whales), is now considered as a prodigal child returned to the artiodactyl home, as the common cetacean ancestor appears to be rooted somewhere near the hippopotamus branch. Work is still in progress, and will continue for a while yet, as individual researchers ride their personal hobby horses in progressively similar directions. Taxonomists furthermore are a fertile source of opinions. As for including extinct taxa, like (just one example) the various prehistoric South American ungulate-type groups, that is another game within another level of mystery.
Why do people call horses feet hooves instead of feet?
The correct term for a horse's foot is actually "hoof." The plural of "hoof" is "hooves." I don't think anyone would mind if you referred to the hoof as a foot, but if you want to use the correct term for it, use the word "hoof."
What kind of things do wolves eat?
Wolves are carnivores and eat mostly medium to large size ungulates, but they will also eat rodents, insectivores and foxes. Some wolves have been seen eating salmon, seal, beached whales, lizards, snakes and bird They also eat moose, deer and other large animals. Wolves usually stalk old or sick animals, but they do not always catch what they stalk. They would catch their food by being quiet and stalking the things that are unaware of them except at the last minute.
