Home›Mammals›Taxonomy›BovidaeTaxaBovidaeMammal FamiliesReference and ClassificationThoroughly VerifiedBovidae is the family of cloven-hoofed ruminant mammals commonly called bovids, comprising cattle, bison, buffalo, antelopes, gazelles, sheep and goats. It is the largest family within the order Artiodactyla and one of the most diverse mammal families, distributed naturally across Africa, Eurasia and North America, with the genus Bison and the genus Capra among its members. Bovids are characterized by unbranched, permanent horns present in most species, in contrast to the deciduous antlers of deer.FactsBovidaeConnectionsIn the Other AtlasesSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsTaxonomic RankWell-attestedFamily 1Scientific NameWell-attestedBovidae 1Member Species/Taxa CountWell-attested143 1Geographic DistributionWell-attestedGreatest diversity occurs in Africa, especially the savannas of Eastern Africa; also found in Europe, Asia, and North America 1Defining CharacteristicsWell-attestedShare a basic form of a blunt snout, one or more pairs of horns generally present on males just behind the ears, a distinct neck and limbs, and a tail varying in length and bushiness 1Member Count BandWell-attested100 to 1000 Species 3Era First AppearedWell-attestedPaleogene 4IdentificationDistinguishing AppearanceWell-attestedThe unique horn structure is the only unambiguous morphological feature distinguishing bovids from other pecorans 1ClassificationLiving or ExtinctWell-attestedYes 2BovidaeFilter Results29 entriesCommon GroupAllEven-Toed Ungulates (Artiodactyla) (29)Everyday GroupAllEven-Toed Ungulates (Artiodactyla) (29)HabitatAllAlpine (4)Chaparral (3)Desert (6)Grassland (6)Montane Grasslands and Shrublands (2)Savanna (5)Steppe (2)Temperate Forest (1)Tropical Rainforest (2)Tundra (2)Where It LivesAllAfrica (11)Argentina (3)Belgium (2)Botswana (3)Bulgaria (1)Chile (1)Colombia (2)Croatia (1)Cuba (2)Cyprus (2)Czechia (1)Eswatini (3)France (1)India (2)Jordan (1)Kazakhstan (1)Kenya (1)Libya (1)Mexico (4)Mozambique (2)Namibia (3)Nepal (2)New Zealand (1)North America (7)Norway (4)Pakistan (2)Poland (1)Romania (1)Russia (5)Slovenia (1)South Africa (9)South Asia (5)Sudan (1)Sweden (2)Tajikistan (1)Turkmenistan (2)Ukraine (6)United States (5)Uzbekistan (2)Zimbabwe (3)Conservation StatusAllCritically Endangered (2)Endangered (2)Extinct (1)Least Concern (14)Near Threatened (7)Not Evaluated (1)Vulnerable (2)DietAllCarnivore (1)Herbivore (27)System (Realm)AllFreshwater (1)Terrestrial (27)Living or ExtinctAllYes (29)Population TrendAllStable (1)ThreatsAllBiological Resource Use (1)Relationship to PeopleAllAgricultural or Structural Pest (1)Domesticated (3)Farmed or Commercially Raised (2)Hunted or Fished (21)Invasive or Introduced Species (2)Used in Traditional Medicine (2)CITES AppendixAllAppendix I (9)Appendix II (4)Appendix III (3)Not Listed (13)NatureServe RankAllG3 Vulnerable (3)G4 Apparently Secure (3)G5 Secure (3)EcosystemAllArabian Desert (1)Arctic Tundra (1)Chernobyl Exclusion Zone (1)Chihuahuan Desert (1)Eurasian Steppe (1)Great Plains (1)Greenland Ice Sheet (1)Kalahari Desert (1)Kruger National Park (1)Mojave Desert (2)Mongolian Steppe (1)Okavango Delta (4)Sahara Desert (1)Serengeti (4)Sonoran Desert (1)Yellowstone (3)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 29AddaxBovidaeAfrican BuffaloBovidaeAlpine IbexBovidaeAmerican BisonBovidaeArabian OryxBovidaeBighorn SheepBovidaeBlackbuckBovidaeBlesbokBovidaeBlue WildebeestBovidaeBongoBovidaeChamoisBovidaeCommon beisa oryxBovidaeCyprus mouflonBovidaeDesert bighorn sheepBovidaeEuropean BisonBovidaeEuropean mouflonBovidaeGerenukBovidaeGreater KuduBovidaeImpalaBovidaeMarkhorBovidaeMountain GoatBovidaeMuskoxBovidaeNilgaiBovidaeSable AntelopeBovidaeSaiga AntelopeBovidaeSaolaBovidaeSpringbokBovidaeThomson's GazelleBovidaeWild YakBovidaeConnectionsParent Taxon OfPeters's Duiker, Species Well-attested Source Bovidae -

The maximum concentration of species is in the savannas of Eastern Africa. Other bovid species also occur in Europe, Asia, and North America.Characteristics section, basic form sentenceAll bovids have the similar basic form, a snout with a blunt tip, one or more pairs of horns (generally present on males) immediately after the oval or pointed ears, a distinct neck and limbs, and a tail varying in length and bushiness among the species.Characteristics sectionThe unique horn structure is the only unambiguous morphological feature of bovids that distinguishes them from other pecorans.Parent Taxon Of: Greater Kudu, LeadBovidae is the biological family of cloven-hoofed,
