Fissipedia

Fissipedia is a former biological suborder comprising the largely land-based families of the order Carnivora. By and large, members of this suborder are meat-eaters, with the giant panda and red panda (each exclusively herbivorous) being the most notable exceptions. In some former taxonomic classifications, Pinnipedia is treated as an order in its own right rather than as a suborder within the Carnivora. In these classifications, Fissipedia is the sole suborder of Carnivora, and is thus omitted on the grounds of redundancy.
