WHAT DOES SUBUNGULATE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Paenungulata

Paenungulata is a taxon that groups three extant mammal orders: Proboscidea, Sirenia, and Hyracoidea. At least two more orders are known only as fossils, namely Embrithopoda and Desmostylia. Each of these extinct orders was as unique in its members' ways as the surviving orders. Embrithopods were rhinoceros-like herbivorous mammals with plantigrade feet, and desmostylians were hippopotamus-like amphibious animals. Their walking posture and diet have been the subject of speculation, but tooth wear indicates that desmostylians browsed on terrestrial plants and had a posture similar to other large hoofed mammals. Of the five orders, hyraxes are the most basal, followed by embrithopods; the remaining orders are more closely interrelated. These latter three are grouped as the Tethytheria, because it is believed that their common ancestors lived on the shores of the prehistoric Tethys Sea; however, recent myoglobin studies indicate that even Hyracoidea had an aquatic ancestor.
