Fissipedia

Fissipedia ("split feet") or land-dweling carnivorans is a former suborder of placental mammals comprising the largely land-based families of the order Carnivora.<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref> In some former taxonomic classifications, Pinnipedia was treated as an suborder in order Carnivora alongside Fissipedia and Creodonta.<ref name="simpson1945">Template:Cite journal</ref> rather than as a subgroup of "dog-like" carnivorans.
