Bovidae is the biological family of cloven-hoofed, ruminant mammals that includes bison, African buffalo, water buffalo, antelopes, gazelles, sheep, goats, muskoxen, and domestic cattle. A member of this family is called a bovid. Consisting of 143 extant species and 300 known extinct species, the family Bovidae consists of eight major subfamilies apart from the disputed Peleinae and Pantholopinae. The family evolved 20 million years ago, in the early Miocene.
The bovids show great variation in size and pelage colouration. Excepting some domesticated forms, all male bovids have two or more horns, and in many species females possess horns, too. The size and shape of the horns vary greatly, but the basic structure is always one or more pairs of simple bony protrusions without branches, often having a spiral, twisted or fluted form, each covered in a permanent sheath of keratin. Most bovids bear 30 to 32 teeth.
Most bovids are diurnal. Social activity and feeding usually peak during dawn and dusk. Bovids typically rest before dawn, during midday, and after dark. They have various methods of social organisation and social behaviour, which are classified into solitary and gregarious behaviour. Bovids use different forms of vocal, olfactory, and tangible communication. Most species alternately feed and ruminate throughout the day. While small bovids forage in dense and closed habitat, larger species feed on high-fiber vegetation in open grasslands. Most bovids are polygynous. Mature bovids mate at least once a year and smaller species may even mate twice. In some species, neonate bovids remain hidden for a week to two months, regularly nursed by their mothers; in other species, neonates are followers, accompanying their dams, rather than tending to remain hidden.
It ain't his fault that she went A.W.O.L
'Cause he tried everything from A to Z
Now it's J&B, M&M's and KFC
Tryin' hard to make himself believe
It ain't no B.F.D he's got his C.M.T
No S E X but that's okay
At least he ain't no S.O.B like that Ph.D
That took his EX and ran off to L.A.
She liked C.N.N made fun of his T.N.N
Always called it E I E I O
Now their love is RIP but at least he's F R E E
And he ain't cryin' on his P I L L O
It ain't no B.F.D, he's got his C.M.T
No S.E.X but that's okay
At least he ain't no S.O.B like that P.h.D
That took his EX and ran off to L.A.
One night he ordered pizza
For some R&R with the N.F.L
When a delivery girl named Lisa
Stole his heart when she rang his bell
Now they're in L U V and it's X T C
No S E X yet but that's A okay
Feels just like a VIP with all of her T.L.C
And A.S.A.P, she'll be his fiancée
