Bovids are a family of mammals known as Bovidae, which includes animals like cattle, sheep, goats, and antelope. They are characterized by their even-toed hooves and typically have horns, which can be found in both males and females in some species. Bovids are herbivores, primarily grazing on grass and other vegetation. This family is widely distributed across various habitats, from grasslands to forests. Bovids play a significant role in their ecosystems, contributing to plant growth and serving as prey for larger predators. Their social structures can vary, with some species living in herds while others are more solitary.
