Template talk:Taxonomy/Artiodactyla/skip

Artiodactyla was listed as the order, and Cetacea as the Infraorder. This completely untrue; Mysticeti, baleen whales is in the order Cetacea, whales and whale relatives while Artiodactyla is the order for even toed hoofed mammals. The closest relatives of Artiodactyla are, in fact cetaceans, and sone taxonomists put the two together in an order "Cetartiodactyla."

See Cetruminantia for an account of a classification in which Cetacea are in Artiodactyla. In any case, it's not here that any change would be needed, but lower down in the classification. See Template:Taxonomy/Cetacea. Peter coxhead (talk) 11:22, 10 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
