'''Ancylopoda''', is a group of [[mammal]]s in the [[Perissodactyla]] that show long, curved and cleft [[claw]]s. [[Morphology (biology)|Morphological]] evidence indicates the Ancylopoda diverged from the [[tapir]]s, [[rhinoceros]]es and [[horse]]s ([[Euperissodactyla]]) after the Brontotheria, however earlier authoritites such as [[Osborn]] sometimes considered the Ancylopoda to be outside Perissodactyla or, as was popular more recently, to be related to [[Brontotheria]].
