Hoofed animals, also known as ungulates, are mammals that have hooves, which are hard coverings on their feet. They are divided into two main groups: even-toed ungulates (like cows and sheep) and odd-toed ungulates (like horses and zebras). These animals are typically herbivores, meaning they primarily eat plants, and they play important roles in their ecosystems by grazing and helping to maintain grasslands. Hoofed animals are found in various habitats around the world, from grasslands to forests. They have adapted to their environments in different ways, such as developing long legs for running or strong bodies for carrying heavy loads. Many hoofed animals are also social creatures, often living in groups for protection and companionship.
