The term "Subclass Eutheria" represents a crucial group of mammals that includes placental animals. Synonyms for this subclass are "Euarchontoglires" and "Boreoeutheria." The word "Euarchontoglires" is derived from two Greek words, 'eu' meaning true and 'archon' meaning rulers, while the word 'glires' mean rodents and lagomorphs. This name implies that these animals are the true rulers of mammals. The word "Boreoeutheria" is derived from "Boreas," the Greek god of the North Wind, and the name Eutheria. It refers to the fact that these animals inhabit the northern hemisphere. Regardless of the term, the subclass Eutheria comprises an extensive range of mammals that have dominated the vertebrate fauna since the extinction of dinosaurs 65 million years ago.
