Ungulates are the second generator in the mammal tech tree.

Design

The ungulates look like red deer. The one in the tree looks like a female deer, without horns, and in the Land Garden there is a "family" of deer, with a female one like in the tree, a fawn with white dots, and a male with big antlers.

Description

"Ungulates can be split into two groups: terrestrial ungulates, which share the common trait of hooves, and cetaceans, which have flippers and live in water. They are mostly grazing herbivores."

Upgrades

Ungulates has 23 upgrades, increasing the generator efficiency with a total x1.14816e8 multiplier.

Icon	Name	Description	Cost	Efficiency	Requires
	Tusks	Hippos have large lower canine and incisor teeth, which grow into impressive tusks as they age. Combined with the hippo's incredibly powerful and flexible jaw, the bite of a hippopotamus is extremely dangerous.	Entropy 2.11e14	25%	Ungulates
	Deer	Deer are one of the most common wild animals on Earth, with habitats ranging from the forests of North America to the tundra of the Arctic. They chew cud, like cows, and most species have antlers.	Entropy 3.22e14	35%	Ungulates
	Hippopotamus	A large, semi-aquatic mammal, hippos are native to Sub-Saharan Africa, where they are mostly herbivorous. Despite their resemblance to pigs, they are actually more closely related to marine mammals such as whales and dolphins.	Entropy 7.36e14	45%	Tusks
	Food Source	Deer have been an important source of food for humans since Homo erectus first evolved. The earliest hunter-gatherer societies tracked and hunted deer, and many cave paintings feature them prominently. Even today, deer are one of the most commonly hunted animals by humans.	Entropy 4.33e15	55%	Deer
	Nose Horn	Rhinos have horns on their noses that are made of keratin, the same substance that makes up human hair and nails. These horns are used for defensive purposes, as well as for foraging for food and water and guiding calves.	Entropy 9.55e15	100%	Tusks
	Rhinoceros	Rhinoceros are large herbivorous animals with thick protective skin. They have a distinctive horn on their noses.They are critically endangered by human poaching, due to the fact that their body parts are highly prized on the black market.	Entropy 4.82e16	75%	Nose Horn
	Gazelle	Gazelles are a type of antelope known for their ability to run at high speeds. They are common prey for carnivores like lions and hyenas and travel in defensive herds.	Entropy 6.03e16	85%	Deer
	Stripes	No one is certain what function the zebra's black-and-white stripes provide, but some scientists theorize that the pattern may help to discourage flies and other biting insects.	Entropy 8.44e16	95%	Deer
	Horns	Both male and female gazelles have horns. While males can use these horns to fight with each other when competing for territory or mates, the females also use the horns to help defend themselves and their herds from potential predators.	Entropy 1.34e17	130%	Gazelle
	Zebra	Horse-like ungulates with a distinctive black-and-white striped coat, zebras are grazing animals found in eastern and southern Africa. They have never been fully domesticated.	Entropy 1.73e21	110%	Stripes
	Elongated Neck	Giraffe's necks can be nearly 8 feet long, and feature a series of very long vertebrae. The giraffe's great height helps them get to hard-to-reach foliage, and gives them a wide field of vision that helps them to spot incoming threats.	Entropy 2.37e23	120%	Stripes
	Humps	Many people believe that the hump of a camel is filled with water. This is untrue—the humps are actually deposits of fat that helps to decrease the animal's reliance on drinking water.	Entropy 3.88e23	130%	Deer
	Camel	Camels are ungulates known for their humps, which are fatty deposits that help them to better thermoregulate in the hot climate of the desert. They have many adaptations that allow them to survive in extreme heat. Camels with two humps are known as bactrian camels.	Entropy 7.11e24	130%	Humps
	Giraffe	The tallest living terrestrial animal, giraffes are known for their incredibly long necks. They have distinctive spotted coats, and generally eat leaves, fruit, bark, and other plant matter that shorter herbivores cannot reach. They live in herds and are very social.	Entropy 2.77e25	140%	Elongated Neck
	Megafauna	Bison are the largest land animal in North America. It is believed that at least five species of even larger bison went extinct during the Late Pleistocene era, when many species of megafauna died out.	Entropy 4.87e26	150%	Humps
	Leg Regression	Some land animals returned to the sea to take advantage of a different evolutionary niche. As they evolved large, flat, sometimes webbed limbs that eventually turned into flippers, these creatures retained the vestigial bones that used to help them walk on land.	Entropy 9.3e26	145%	Hippopotamus 2.5e7 Cetaceans Glitch
	Diving	Aquatic mammals have adapted to spend long periods of time underwater. They can slow their heart rate and divert blood flow to their vital organs. They also have a higher rate of myoglobin in their muscles, which allows them to store more oxygen while they dive.	Entropy 5.6e27	155%	Leg Regression
	Bison	Broad, muscular, shaggy ungulates, the American bison is the largest terrestrial animal in North America. They can weigh up to 3,000 lbs. Though nearly hunted to extinction in the 19th century, they have made a comeback as domesticated livestock.	Entropy 4.14e28	160%	Megafauna
	Wooly Coats	Mountain goats possess thick, wooly white coats. These pelts consist of two separate layers—one of fine, dense wool below, and longer, lighter hairs on top. They can tolerate temperatures as low as -46 degrees celsius.	Entropy 3.69e29	160%	Gazelle
	Mountain Goat	Hoofed North American mammals, mountain goats are shaggy ungulates known for their prowess at climbing on steep, mountainous terrain. They have sharp dewclaws on their hooves that prevent them from slipping on ice.	Entropy 4.31e30	170%	Wooly Coats
	Trunk	The elephant's trunk is an elongated, fused combination of the nose and upper lip. Muscular and prehensile, it has many functions including breathing, smelling, grasping, and touching. It can lift up to 770 lbs, and perform tasks as delicate as cracking a peanut shell.	Entropy 7.56e34	250%	Nose Horn
	Elephant	Elephants are the largest living land animals on Earth. They have ivory tusks, large, floppy ears and long trunks that are used for breathing, picking up food, and grasping objects. They are highly intelligent and display empathy and self-awareness.	Entropy 8.86e38	275%	Trunk
	Ibex	A species of wild mountain goat, the Ibex is easily identified by its huge, curved horns. They were almost hunted to extinction, but recovered when the King of Sardinia declared they were to be protected in the year 1820.	Entropy 3.34e42	375%	Horns

Achievements

	Don't Have A Cow, Man	A cow's main stomach can hold up to 50 gallons of partially digested food. The average cow consumes up to 40 lbs of grass, hay, and feed a day.	25 Ungulates
	Deer-ly Beloved	The Chinese water deer are the only species of deer without antlers. However, they have notably protruding fangs! These sharp canine teeth can grow to be eight centimeters long.	50 Ungulates
	Graceful Gazelles	The gazelle is associated with beauty and grace in Persian and Arabic literature. These dainty ungulates get their name from the Arabic word "ghazal", which is a type of love poem.	100 Ungulates
	Hoofing It	Hooves evolved to boost speed, a life saver for grazing ungulates dodging predators. One-toed hooves, as sported by horses, increase endurance. Two-toed hooves—on llamas and camels—provide stability on uneven or soft terrain.	150 Ungulates
	An Elephant Never Forgets (To Wear Sunscreen)	Elephants have thick leathery skin that helps to protect them from predators and their environment. But elephants are very smart, and have also learned to protect their skin by slathering mud on themselves as a makeshift sunscreen.	250 Ungulates

Trivia

• The game includes elephants in the category of ungulates, but elephants are not true ungulates (Euungulata). Elephants belong to the clade Paeungulata. Euungulata and Paeungulata convergently evolved hooves.
