A hoofed mammal which is usually adapted for running. Includes deer, cattle, gazelles, horses, elephants, and hyraxes. Most are large herbivores. The term no longer has taxonomic significance.
a term that refers to hoofed animals. This includes Family Cervidae (deer) and Bovidae (sheep and goats) as well as the pronghorn. They typically have antlers or horns and are herbivores.
hooved species of wildlife (e.g. elk, deer, moose).
a hoofed mammal, such as a caribou, moose, muskox, bison, Dall sheep, goat.
Derived from the latin ungula, the term is used to refer to hooved, herbiforious mammals (deer, elephant, camels, moose, etc). Marine mammals evolved from ungulates.
A hoofed mammal, such as deer, elk, mountain goats, bighorn sheep, moose, antelope, caribou and bison.
having or resembling hoofs; "horses and other hoofed animals"
a goat, horse, or cow, any animal with hoofs
any mammal that has hooves
The group of mammals that have hooves. Bighorn sheep, elk, deer, and bison are all ungulates.
Hooved. Noun, any hooved mammal.
The term ungulate is generally used to describe all hoofed mammals. It is broadly used as a practical, descriptive name that groups together six taxonomic orders - Tubulidentata, Hyracoidea, Proboscidea, Sirenia, Perissodactyla, and Artiodactyla. Hyracoidea, Proboscidea and Sirenia are often grouped together as paenungulates ("almost ungulates") as their feet have nail-hoofs instead of true hoofs. Ungulates have developed hoofs - specialized claws or toenails - as an adaptation for running. They are one of the most successful and diverse groups of mammals, having colonized nearly every habitat on all continents except Antarctica and Australia. Since the beginning of the 20th century, more new ungulate species have been discovered than any other type of large mammal.
Referring to a hoofed four-legged animal, as a cow.
hoofed mammal (e.g., horses, rhinoceroses, pigs, hippopotamuses, camels)
a hoofed typically herbivorous quadruped mammal (as a ruminant, swine, camel, hippopotamus, horse, tapir, rhinoceros, elephant, or hyrax)
Hoofed mammals. Ungulate is now used as a name to group together six taxonomic orders: Artiodactyla (even-toed ungulates, eg., pigs, camels, deer, and cattle); Perissodactyla (odd-toed ungulates, eg., horses, tapirs, and rhinoceroses); Hyracoidea (hyraxes); Proboscidea (elephants); Sirenia (sea-cows); and Tubulidentata (the aardvark).
A hoofed animal, including ruminants but also horses, tapirs, elephants, rhinoceroses and swine. cf. ruminant.
hoofed, as on a handle of a spoon, foot of a chair leg, etc..
any hoofed, grazing mammal
Ungulates are hoofed, herbivorous, placental mammals (like horses, pigs, deer and camels). Whales evolved from land-dwelling ungulates. The hoof is made of the protein keratin.
Ungulates (meaning roughly "hoofed" or "hoofed animal") are several groups of mammals most of which use the tips of their toes, usually hoofed, to sustain their whole bodyweight whilst moving. They make up several orders of mammals, of which six to eight survive. There is some dispute as to whether ungulate should be treated as an actual cladistic (evolution-based) group, or merely a phenetic group (similar, but not necessarily related), in light of the fact that all ungulates do not appear to be as closely related as once believed (see below).
