Wikipedia
Comparison of lower limb structure. From left to right: plantigrade, digitigrade and unguligrade. In red the basipod, in violet the metapodia, in yellow the phalanges, in brown the keratin nails.
1. Plantigrade animals species include (but are not limited to):
- Mammals
- Several primates (including humans and lemurs)
- Carnivora:
- Ursidae: bears
- amphicyonids
- Musteloidea: skunks, raccoons, weasels, badgers, otters, and red pandas
- Nimravids: false saber-tooth cats
- Oxyaenids
- Rodents: mice, rats, porcupines
- Hedgehogs
- Hyraxes
- Marsupialia: kangaroos, opossums
- Nearly all basal mammals and non-mammalian synapsids were plantigrade
- Birds
- Loons, grebes
- Reptiles
- Nearly all reptiles (including pterosaurs but excluding dinosaurs (including most birds) which are digitigrade or semi-digitigrade) are plantigrade
- Amphibians
- All amphibians are plantigrade
2. Digitigrade
- Mesonychidae
- Dinosaurs (digitigrade and semi-digitigrade)
- Birds (except for loons and grebes which are plantigrade)
- Suina (semi-digitigrade)
- Hippopotamidae (semi-digitigrade)
- Pakicetus
- Indohyus
- Thylacine
- Carnivora:
- Felidae
- Hyenas
- Mongooses
- Canidae
- Derived hyaenodonts (range from digitigrade to semidigitigrade: ancestrally plantigrade)
- Elephants (semi-digitigrade)[2]
- Capybaras (semi-digitigrade)
- Trucidocynodon (semi-digitigrade at least in the forelimbs)
- Certain primates (including some monkeys and lemurs)
3. Unguligrade - Ungulates are members of the diverse clade Euungulata, which primarily consists of large mammals with hooves.
- Odd-toed Perissodactyla including equines, rhinoceroses, and tapirs; and
- Even-toed Artiodactyla including cattle, antelope, pigs, giraffes, camels, sheep, deer, and hippopotamuses, among others.
- Cetaceans such as whales, dolphins, and porpoises are also classified as artiodactyls, although they do not have hooves
