Carnivores are split into two classifications: Feliformia, more cat-like, and Caniformia, more dog-like. This is a large enough, and popular enough, group that it will be explored to the subfamily, or even genus, level.

- Perissodactyla - Horses, Tapirs, Rhinoceroses
- Insectivora - Hedgehogs, Shrews, Moles
- Pholidota - Pangolins
- Chiroptera - Bats

- Carnivora
- Euarchontoglires [38-X]
