Ferungulata is a traditional clade within the cohort of placental mammals. Established by George Gaylord Simpson in 1945, it includes the extant Carnivorans, Odd-Toed Ungulates and Even-Toed Ungulates as well as Tubulidentatans and a superorder, Paenungulata, plus a number of orders known only as fossils. Although Simpson placed whales (Cetacea) in a separate cohort, recent evidence linking them to Even-Toed Ungulates would mean that they belong here as well.
