An animal is considered an ungulate if it has hoofed feet. The animal must also use the hoofed feet to sustain their entire body weight when moving. Examples of commonly known ungulates are horses, zebras, giraffes, pigs, elephants, and aardvarks. There are also fossil records that tie in manatee, whales, dolphins, and hyrax into the family of ungulate.

Ungulates (meaning roughly "being pawed" or "hoofed animal") are several groups of mammals, most of which use the tips of their toes, usually hoofed.
