hoofed mammal
Animal with hooves
A hoofed mammal is any mammal with hooves—the hard, keratinous coverings on their feet.
The group includes horses, cattle, deer, pigs, sheep, goats, and elephants.
Scientists divide them into odd-toed ungulates (horses, rhinos) and even-toed ungulates (cows, pigs).
The technical term is ungulate.
