The Order Artiodactyla, known as even-toed ungulates, includes mammals like deer, camels, cows, and giraffes, characterized by having an even number of toes on each foot, typically two or four. These animals are adapted to various habitats worldwide and are distinguished by their specialized stomachs for fermenting plant material, making them efficient herbivores. Artiodactyls play crucial roles in ecosystems as grazers and browsers and have significant economic value to humans for meat, milk, and leather.
