even-toed
Like pigs' hooves
Even-toed describes mammals whose weight is borne equally on two toes, the third and fourth digits.
Pigs, deer, cattle, sheep, and giraffes are even-toed ungulates (hoofed animals).
The term distinguishes them from odd-toed ungulates like horses and rhinos, which bear weight primarily on a single central toe.
