The even-toed ungulates (order Artiodactyla) are ungulates, hoofed animals, whose weight is borne approximately equally by the third and fourth toes - rather than primarily by the third toe as are odd-toed ungulates such as horses. The name Artiodactyla comes from the Greek ἄρτιος (ártios), "even", and δάκτυλος (dáktylos), "finger/toe"; so the name "even-toed" is a translation of the description.
