Placental mammal having hooves with an even number of functional toes on each foot.

The genetic relationship between pig and bovine who are both Artiodactylous is the nearest, the next is human, and the farthest is mouse.

More than 200 species of mammal are distinguished by possession of hooves, known as ungulates, and are divided into two orders, even-toed and odd-toed ungulates.

In the Miocene the evolution of the two-toed artiodactyl foot was well-nigh completed.
2
One leading to the existing perissodactyl foot, and the other, apparently later, resulting in the artiodactyl type.

As it turned out, whales were not only more closely-related to artiodactyls than to the mesonychids.
4
They actually are artiodactyls.
5
Biomolecular and genetic studies repeatedly found that whales were most closely related to the group of hoofed mammals called artiodactyls, particularly hippos.
6
The pig is an obvious choice due to its economic and medical importance as well as its evolutionary position in the artiodactyls.

The Artiodactyl group must have quickly branched in turn, as we find very primitive hogs and camels before the end of the Eocene.
