Ferae
Ferae is a clade of mammals, consisting of the orders Carnivora and Pholidota. Pangolins do not look much like carnivorans, and were thought to be the closest relatives of Xenarthra. But recent DNA research found the close relationship to carnivorans. Ferae also includes Creodonta, extinct primitive carnivoran-like mammals. Several extinct orders, relatives of Pholidota, are members of Ferae as well. These orders are sometimes united with the Pholidota in one, large order, Cimolesta. An alternate name, Ostentoria, has also been proposed for a grouping of Carnivora and Pholidota. According to recent studies, the closest relatives of Ferae are Perissodactyla and Cetartiodactyla. An alternate phylogeny holds that the closest relatives to Ferae are Perissodactyla and Chiroptera, not Cetartiodactyla. Ferae together with Perissodactyla has been called Zooamata. Ferae, Perissodactyla, and Chiroptera together has been called Pegasoferae.
