An ungulate: a mammal of the genus Sus, which furnishes man with a large portion of his most nourishing food: a hog. The fat or lard of this animal enters into various dishes in cookery. The numerous varieties of the hog or swine bred in U. S. are partly the result of climate and keep. They are all, however, of English importation originally.
