Order Perissodactyla.—

The perissodactyls, or odd-toed animals, are mammals in which the

central toe on each limb is greatly enlarged. Modern representatives

include the horses, rhinoceroses, and tapirs. Extinct members of the

Perissodactyla include the _titanotheres_, _chalicotheres_, and

_baluchitheres_, all of which grew to tremendous size and took on many

unusual body forms.
