The odd-toed forms are called PERISSODACTYLA, the even-toed are ARTIODACTYLA. To the perissodactyls belong, of living forms, the tapirs, rhinoceroses, and horses. The tapirs live in the forest regions of the tropics of both continents. They have a hog-like body, large prehensile upper lip; teeth, if, c\, pmf, mf; while their fore feet have four toes, the hind feet three. Yet, although the fore feet have an even number of toes, these are not symmetrically arranged,.
