The Cetruminantia are a clade made up of the Cetancodontamorpha (or Whippomorpha) and their closest living relatives, the Ruminantia.[1]
Cetruminantia's placement within Artiodactyla can be represented in the following cladogram:[2][3][4][5][6]
Artiodactyla Tylopoda (camels)
Artiofabula Suina (pigs)
Cetruminantia Ruminantia (ruminants)
Cetancodonta/
Whippomorpha Hippopotamidae (hippopotamuses)
Cetacea (whales)
