List of Perissodactyla taxa

The Order Perissodactyla is a taxonomic order commonly known as Odd-toed ungulate. In addition to Equidae, Perissodactyla includes four species of tapir in a single genus, as well as five living species (belonging to four genera) of rhinoceros. A list of members of this order follows.

† indicates extinct taxa.

Notes

  1. Although the plains and mountain zebras have been placed in Hippotigris and Grévy's zebra in Dolichohippus, Vilstrup et al. (2013) finds that the plains zebra and Grévy's zebra are more closely related.[4] Groves and Bell (2004) place all three species in the subgenus Hippotigris.[5]
