Why do male bovids have horns?

In most species of bovid males, horns play an important role. Horns are used by males to engage in male-male competitions or to show-off and impress females. Bovid horns vary in shape and size – some are straight, curved or spiral. Horns are sharp and can be used as a defense mechanism against predators. Unfortunately, many bovids are hunted for their horns.

How many bovids are there?

There are about 143 species in the Bovidae family. The bovids are the largest family of hoofed mammals. Antelopes, sheep, goats, cattle, buffalo, and bison are all part of the Bovidae family. Other species of bovids include impala, gazelles, and muskoxen. There are 300 known extinct species.

How many toes do bovids have?

All bovids have 4 toes on each foot. They walk on the 2 central toes which are the hooves, and the 2 outer toes which are dewclaws are smaller and rarely touch the ground. Standing on their toes increases the bovids speed while running and jumping, and lets them hold their head higher to better look out for predators.
