Zooamata is a proposed clade of mammals consisting of Ferae (carnivores and pangolins) and Perissodactyla (odd-toed ungulates). Together with Cetartiodactyla (even-toed ungulates and whales) and chiroptera (bats) it forms Ferungulata, and is part of Laurasiatheria. The name is constructed from Greek and Latin to mean "animal friends", a reference to the inclusion of cats, dogs, and horses.
A conflicting proposal links the Perissodactyla and Cetartiodactyla in a clade named Euungulata. Both proposals are based on molecular evidence, but neither of these clades nor Ferungulata is well supported. Regardless of the subclassification, all Ferungulate groups are part of Laurasiatheria.
