The order Artiodactyla consists of 349 extant species belonging to 132 genera. This does not include hybrid species or extinct prehistoric species. Modern molecular studies indicate that the 132 genera can be grouped into 23 families; these families are grouped into named suborders and many are further grouped into named clades, and some of these families are subdivided into named subfamilies.
The four summarized Artiodactyla taxa are divided into ten extant families: [26] The camelids ( Tylopoda ) comprise only one family, Camelidae . It is a species-poor artiodactyl suborder of North American origin [ 27 ] that is well adapted to extreme habitats—the dromedary and Bactrian camels in the Old World deserts and the guanacos , llamas ...
Last found in the wild in 2008. Captive individuals were reintroduced in 2016, but it is unclear if the new population is viable. The exact cause of extinction is unknown, but habitat loss due to water extraction has been suggested. [95]

Pseudamphimeryx is an extinct genus of Palaeogene artiodactyls belonging to the Amphimerycidae that was endemic to the central region of western Europe and lived from the Middle to Late Eocene.
All scholars agree, however, that the oreodont was an early form of even-toed ungulate, belonging to the order Artiodactyla. Today, most evidence points towards the oreodonts being tylopods, along with camels, xiphodonts, and protoceratids. [citation needed]
Robiatherium is an extinct genus of Palaeogene artiodactyls containing one species R. cournovense.The genus name derives from the locality of Robiac in France, where some of its fossils were described, plus the Greek θήρ / therium, meaning "beast" or "wild animal".
