The answer above is only 1/2 correct and 1/2 incorrect - Proboscidea IS a definite order of the Ungulata family. Elephants together with hyraxes, dugongs, and manatees are classified as 'paenungulates' ('almost ungulates'). Although formerly known as 'sub-ungulates', they are now recognised as representing the evolutionary intermediate between hooves and claw-like nails. With new discoveries suggesting the fact that the paenungulates were even more specialised than the 'true' ungulate group, they are now firmly established within the constantly expanding taxonomy of the ungulate infraorder. Therefore elephants ARE ungulates.

What is an example of a ungulated?
An ungulate is a hoofed mammal. They're divided into even-toed ungulates (pigs, camels, deer, cows, etc.) and odd toed ungulates (horses, rhinoes, etc) and a third group which includes elephants, hyraxes, and manatees. All of these are ungulates. The ungulate you are most likely to see on a daily basis is probably the cow. See related link.
Are ungulates exclusively grazers?
There are documented instances of true ungulates (in this example deer) killing birds for the calcium in their bones. Generally these animals are grazers or browsers.
