Pachydermata
For the recording studio, see
Pachyderm Studio The Pachydermata (meaning "thick skin") is an obsolete
order of
mammals described by
Georges Cuvier and at one time recognised by many systematists. Because it is
polyphyletic, the order Pachydermata is no longer in use, but it is important in the history of systematics. Although it is often described as an artificial grouping of unrelated mammals, it was recognised as a grade of
hooved mammals to the exception of other
Ungulates by
zoologists such as
Charles Darwin, and anatomical characters do support the affinities of "Pachyderm" mammals to each other and to other Ungulates.
