IPA: /ˌɑːtɪəʊˈdaktɪl/ [UK] Forms: artiodactyls [plural]
Etymology: From scientific Latin Artiodactyla (suborder name), from Ancient Greek ἄρτιος (ártios, “even”) + δάκτυλος (dáktulos, “finger, toe”). Etymology templates: {{taxfmt|Artiodactyla|order}} Artiodactyla, {{uder|en|grc|ἄρτιος||even}} Ancient Greek ἄρτιος (ártios, “even”) Head templates: {{en-noun}} artiodactyl (plural artiodactyls)
  1. (zoology) Any ungulate mammal with an even number of toes and belonging to the Artiodactyla, including pigs, sheep, deer, cattle, and most grazing animals.
