Tlie ox is succeeded by the giraSe, with its long neck, which makes it the tallest of all quadrupeds. The last family of Ungulates, the Gamelidm, comprises the camels of the Old World, and the llama and vicuna of South America. In former (Tertiary) times a llama-like animal inhabited the Pacific coast to Oregon. In the camels the upper lateral incisors are present; the stomach is less distinctly divided into four chambers, the third stomach, as such, is wanting, though the second stomach has the deep cells, which suggested the fable that the camel stores up a supply of water in its stomach for its march over Fig. 533—Skull of Lion. The toes have very large, thick pads, while the hoofs are reduced to nail-like proportions. Order 11. Oaruivora {Feres).—The bear, cat, tiger, and lion recall the leading forms of this order.

The group is divided into two sub- orders, the Pinnipedia or seals, and the land species (Fis- sipedia). In the former group the feet are webbed, the toes.
