The Order Artiodactyla comprises even-toed ungulates, including animals such as deer, cows, pigs, giraffes, camels, and antelopes. These mammals are characterized by having an even number of toes (usually two or four) on each foot, which helps distribute their weight efficiently for walking and running. Most artiodactyls are herbivorous, with specialized teeth and complex stomachs for digesting plant material, and many species live in herds exhibiting social behavior. They inhabit diverse environments worldwide, from grasslands and forests to deserts, and play important ecological roles as grazers, browsers, and prey for large predators. Some, like cows and camels, have also been domesticated and are integral to human agriculture and economy.
