Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Which of these animals is not an ungulate?

Answer: wolverine

Aside from the omnivorous pigs and peccaries (and if you consider the aardvark and whales as ungulates), all ungulates are herbivores. The wolverine is a carnivore and belongs to the mustelid order.
2. What feature do most ungulates have?

Answer: durable hooves

Hooves are the most identifiable feature of most ungulates. Giraffes, cows, deer, antelope, pigs, hippos, etc. all have them.
3. In the family Equidae, how many digits are present on each limb?

Answer: one

The Equidae family consists of zebras, horses, and asses. All have been domesticated except for the zebras. The extinct quagga was also in this family.
4. Which animals are members of the order Perissodactyla?

Answer: tapirs

The order Perissodactyla consists of those ungulates with an odd number of toes. Perissodactyla includes horses, zebras, tapirs, rhinos, and asses.
5. Where are artiodactyls not naturally found?

Answer: Australia

Though camels, sheep, pigs, and cows have been introduced by man, there are no naturally occuring ungulates in Australia. The marsupials that dominate this continent have filled the niches that ungulates fill on other land masses.
6. Do bovines shed their horns annually?

Answer: No

Bovines (cattle, sheep, goats, and antelope) do not shed their horns.
7. Which of these aquatic mammals is closely related to ungulates?

Answer: manatee

Manatees and dugongs are considered to share a common ancestor with other ungulates. Their branch of the family has adapted to grazing in the water as opposed to dry land.
8. Many ungulate species have multi-chambered stomachs. What is the name of the largest compartment?

Answer: rumen

The rumen is the largest part and mainly serves as a holding vessel prior to the food being regurgitated to be chewed again. Some ungulates do this to break down the tough plant matter that their diet is composed of.
9. Which of the following antelope is the largest?

Answer: kudu

Antelopes are some of the most successful ungulates on the planet and inhabit Africa and Asia. Though some antelope may resemble deer and pronghorns in their appearance and eating habits, they are much more closely related to cattle and goats.
10. What ungulate grows the longest hair?

Answer: musk ox

Musk ox hair is the longest in the animal world. This long hair keeps them warm in their tundra habitat.
