- Sainmhíniú "ungulate [ IATE:112417 ] with one or three toes whose weight is borne by the single toe or by the middle toe, rather than about equally by the third and fourth toes as in even-toed ungulates (artiodactyls [ IATE:1245146 ])" Tagairt "COM-EN based on: http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/odd-toed%2Bungulate?q=odd-toed http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odd-toed_ungulate http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/life/Odd-toed_ungulate [22.6.2012]"
- Nóta "Odd-toed ungulates comprise the order Perissodactyla (Greek: περισσός, perissós, ""uneven"", and δάκτυλος, dáktylos, ""finger/toe""), which includes horses, rhinoceroses, and tapirs. The 17 species in this order can be found in Africa, Asia and even the Americas and include domesticated horses and donkeys. With their browsing and grazing lifestyle, they have a specially enlarged section of the large intestine in which bacteria live and help them digest their food.The middle toe on each hoof is usually larger than its neighbours. All perissodactyls, extinct and extant, have a mesaxonic foot structure, i.e. the symmetry of the foot passes through the third digit. This means that this digit holds the animal's weight. In equines, the mesaxonic foot has been modified so that the non-weight bearing digits have atrophied away, while the third toe has enlarged, so that modern equines have only one toe."
