Hoofs are present on all exposed digits.
All living perissodactyls are herbivorous. Horses and some rhinos are grazing, while tapirs and other rhinos are generally browsing, forest-dwelling mammals. Indigenous equids are found today only in southern and eastern Africa and in the arid regions of southwestern and central Asia. Domesticated forms have been introduced to all parts of the world and feral populations exist in many areas. Tapirids presently are found in the tropical portions of the mainland Neotropical, on the Malayan Peninsula, and on Sumatra.
