...In more evolved species, the parotid, interdigital, metatarsal, and inguinal glands are well developed, and males often have bony horns on their heads, and other secondary sexual characteristics are prominent. Like the Perissodactyla, they descended from the Ankylodes order, and the oldest ungulates, the Palaeodontidae of the Suidae suborder, appeared in North America in the early Eocene of the Tertiary Period of the Cenozoic Era.
