Zooamata is a clade of mammals consisting of Ferae (carnivores and pangolins) and Perissodactyla (odd-toed ungulates). Together with Cetartiodactyla (even-toed ungulates and whales) and chiroptera (bats) it forms Scrotifera (formerly Ferungulata), and is part of Laurasiatheria. The name is constructed from Greek and Latin to mean "animal friends", a reference to the inclusion of cats, dogs, and horses.

A conflicting proposal links the Perissodactyla and Cetartiodactyla in a clade named Euungulata. Both proposals are based on molecular evidence, but neither of these clades is fully supported.
