not anymore. thats not actually a term used in phylogeny anymore. elephants are in their own group called proboscidea and rhinos and hippos are ungulates. they used to be grouped together because of their thick skin but then scientists found other morphylogical characteristics that separated them. sorry, my major is in zoology specifically evolutionary zoology lol
