Fissipedia

Fissipedia or land-dweling carnivorans is a former suborder and paraphyletic group of placental mammals comprising the largely land-based families of the order Carnivora. In some former taxonomic classifications, Pinnipedia was treated as an suborder in order Carnivora alongside Fissipedia and Creodonta. rather than as a subgroup of "dog-like" carnivorans.
