Horses, rhinoceroses, and tapirs

Order : Perissodactyla

  The members of the order of Perissodactyla all have an odd number of toes on their hooves. Living members are from the families Equidae (horses, asses, zebra's), Tapiridae (tapirs) and Rhinocerotidae (rhinoceroses). If you are interested in extinct species, about 10 million years after the dinosaurs died out, the order of Perissodactyla began to rise, with bizarre species like the Chalicothere or check out this giant extinct rhino (twice the size of an elephant).

Featured members are:

- the donkey

- the horse

- the zebra

- the brazillian tapir

- the white rhinoceros

- the black rhinoceros

- the indian rhinoceros
