I see from Sun Wukong's link that the poster is copyright 2001, so does that mean it is at all outdated? Have there been any changes to ungulate classifications since that time? Also, the "Carnivores of Africa" poster looks pretty neat!
I remember I saw this poster first time in Natural History Museum in Addis Ababa. I felt a little jealous All these pictures (so from the carnivore and primate poster) are taken from an absolutely fantastic book: The Kingdon Field Guide to African Mammals NHBS - The Kingdon Field Guide to African Mammals - Jonathan Kingdon
To His: KCZooFan`s question is on a good place, especially if (s)he is younger. Actual mammalian systematics doesnt recognice Paenungulata. Elephants, hyraxes and aardvarks are members of originally African group - Afrotheria. But at least elephants and hyraxes are grazers and browsers

No it isnt. Some subspecies became "new" species, but this is not really important (at least for me). Who cares if Northern White and Southern White Rhinoceros are species or subspecies if you know there are two forms of White Rhinoceros. And this poster isnt about higher systematic which is changes are more important.
