1. Pecora

   Pecora is an infraorder of even-toed hoofed mammals with ruminant digestion. Most members of Pecora have cranial appendages projecting from their frontal bones; only two extant genera lack them, Hydropotes and Moschus. The name “Pecora” comes from the Latin word pecus, which means “horned livestock”. Although most pecorans have cranial appendages, only some of these are properly called “horns”, and many scientists agree that these appendages did not arise from a common ancestor, but instead evolved independently on at least two occasions. Likewise, while Pecora as a group is supported by both molecular and morphological studies, morphological support for interrelationships between pecoran families is disputed.

1. Pecora

   The Pecora are a group of hoofed mammals that comprise most of the ruminants, including cattle, sheep, goats, antelopes, deer, giraffes, and pronghorns. The only extant members of the suborder Ruminantia that are not pecorans are the chevrotains, which lack horns and whose four-chambered stomachs are less developed than those of the pecorans. This accounts for the pecorans sometimes being called "horned ruminants". Pecorans are also known as "higher ruminants", because they arose more recently than other ruminant groups. Although Pecora is well-supported as a clade, the exact relationships among families within it are in dispute.
