What is another term for a cloven-hoofed animal?

Cloven-hoofed animals are classified as ungulates, which is a term used to describe mammals that have hooves. This classification includes various species that possess split hooves, such as cattle, sheep, and goats. The term “ungulate” is derived from the Latin word "ungula," meaning "hoof," and encompasses both even-toed (like pigs and deer) and odd-toed (like horses) categories.

The other terms refer to specific groups of animals: equine relates to horses and similar species, bovine refers specifically to cattle, and porcine is used for pigs. These terms describe certain characteristics or species within the broader classification of ungulates but do not encompass the entire category of cloven-hoofed animals. Thus, ungulate is the most inclusive and accurate term to describe animals that have cloven hooves.
