ORDER ARTIODACTYLA Owen, 1848

Artiodactyla and Cetacea are often considered a single Order Cetartiodactyla (O’Leary & Gatesy 2008; O’Leary 2009). Spaulding et al. (2009) supported the name ‘Artiodactyla’, but they included Cetacea in the Order Artiodactyla . However, most morphologists and paleontologists support a partition between the two orders (Vaughan et al. 2013), as Wilson & Reeder (2005) that we followed here.

The Artiodactyla of Korea contains seven species distributed into in six genera and four families.
