unguligrade การใช้

Many fossil camelids were unguligrade and probably hooved, in contrast to all living species.
Some animals such as horses are unguligrade, walking on the tips of their toes.
Furthermore, their hooved single digits and metatarsal anatomy suggest that, unlike their plantigrade relatives, sthenurines were unguligrade, walking on the tips of their " toes ".
In digitigrade and unguligrade animals, the metacarpals are greatly extended and strengthened, forming an additional segment to the limb, a feature that typically enhances the animal's speed.
Unguligrade animals, such as horses and cattle, walk only on the distal-most tips of their digits, while in digitigrade animals, more than one segment of the digit makes contact with the ground, either directly ( as in birds ) or via paw-pads ( as in dogs ).
