OP Max trumpets "Elephants don't have hooves." True, but:
Hoof's to know?! Some animals which have no hooves, or even feet, are related to ungulates because they all arose from a common ancestor. Among the more famous relatives are elephants (Proboscidea), manatees and dugongs (Sirenia) and whales and dolphins (Cetacea). They are also known as subungulates.

OP More on whales as ungulates:
It confirms genetic research placing whales' origin within the ungulate (hoofed animal) group.
