Sometimes referenced at the "hoofstock," I chose ungulate because my post includes members of the family Camilidae which do not, in fact, have hooves. Of these sturdy four-legged beauties, I have many more species than I can present and so try to rotate at least some of the lesser known varieties in and out from year to year. Enjoy!
