Which of the following represents order of 'Horse'?

Correct answer: A. Perissodactyla

  • A. Perissodactyla
  • B. Caballus
  • C. Ferus
  • D. Equidae

Explanation

Horses belong to the order Perissodactyla, which is a group of mammals characterized by an odd number of toes on their hind feet. Horses, along with other animals like zebras and rhinoceroses, are considered perissodactyls because they typically have one hoofed toe (a single large toe) on each foot. This distinguishes them from the even-toed ungulates (Artiodactyla), such as cows, deer, and pigs, which have an even number of toes on their hind feet.
