Hoofed animals

Hoofed animals have limbs adapted to walking, running and supporting their weight on different kinds of ground. Some are domestic animals living alongside people; others live wild in herds or range over large areas.

Examples include horses, zebras, donkeys, cattle, buffaloes, bison, European bison, deer, goats, sheep, rhinoceroses, giraffes, antelopes and tapirs. Camels are a special case: they walk on broad, padded feet with nail-like structures, unlike the hooves of a horse.
