The higher taxonomy used for the ungulates of this order is based primarily on the Handbook of the Mammals of the World, Volume 2 on hoofed mammals, including the subfamily and tribal affiliations in each family. The order includes about 242 recognized ungulate species, along with 6 recently extinct species.

The order Primates consists of 505 extant species belonging to 81 genera. This does not include hybrid species or extinct prehistoric species. Modern molecular studies indicate that the 81 genera can be grouped into 16 families; these families are divided between two named suborders and are grouped in those suborders into named clades, and some of these families are subdivided into named ...
Platacanthomyidae (tree mice). 2 genera and 5 species. Spalacidae (muroid mole-rats). 7 genera and 28 species. Calomyscidae (brush-tailed mice). 1 genus and 8 Species. Nesomyidae (pouched rats, climbing mice and fat mice). 21 genera and 68 species. Cricetidae (true hamsters, voles, lemmings and New World rats and mice). 142 genera and 765 species.
In modern mammals, this is used for cleaning the fur, indicating that they, contrary to their cynodont ancestors, had a furry covering. An insulative covering is necessary to keep a homeothermic animal warm if it is very small, less than 5 cm (1.97 in) long; [ 10 ] the 3.2 cm (1.35 in) Hadrocodium must have had fur, therefore, but the 10 cm (3. ...
The following classification is a simplified version based on current understanding suitable for non-specialists who want to understand how living genera are related to each other. The classification ignores differences in levels and thus cannot be used to estimate the respective distances between taxa.
