Bovids are a group of hoofed mammals belonging to the family Bovidae. This family includes animals such as cattle, sheep, goats, and antelope. Bovids are characterized by their even-toed hooves and typically have horns, which can be found in both males and females in some species. They are herbivorous, primarily grazing on grasses and other vegetation. Bovids are found in various habitats around the world, from grasslands to forests. They play a significant role in their ecosystems by helping to maintain plant diversity and serving as prey for larger predators. Their social structures can vary, with some species living in herds while others are more solitary.
