Pecora
The Pecora are an infraorder of even-toed hoofed mammals with ruminant digestion (Ruminantia, a clade within the Artiodactyla). 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.
Evolutionary history
The first fossil ruminants appeared in the mid-Eocene, and were small, likely omnivorous, forest-dwellers. Artiodactyls with cranial appendages first occur in the early Miocene. The appearance of the Pecora during the Miocene suggests that their rapid diversification may correspond to the climate change events of that epoch.

Love You Till I Die
by: BaccaraLove you till I die
I think I'm really gonna love you till I die
Somehow you make me wanna love you till I die
I've never known a love to last
I've seen a lot of loves go past
I don't know how, but I know why
I'm gonna love you till I die
Love you till I die
I think I'm really gonna love you till I die
It's no use fighting it and I won't even try
Your ways are hypnotizing me
I feel in chains and I feel free
I don't know how, but I know why
I'm gonna love you till I die
Love you till I die
My love will be a river never running dry
Deep as the deepest ocean, like a mountain high
A summer breathe, a thunderstorm
It's our romance that keeps me warm
It's not confession but it's true
I dedicate my life to you
You will make me cry
You'll make me sing and you will give me wings to fly
I will believe you and I'm sure that you will lie
I don't expect a wedding ring
'Cause it's a never lasting thing
And there's no power to steal me now
Apart from those to clear my
Love you till I die
I think I'm really gonna love you till I die,
Somehow you make me wanna love you till I die
I've never known a love to last
I've seen a lot of loves go past
I don't know how, but I know why
I'm gonna love you till I die
I don't know how, but I know why
I'm gonna love you till I die
Love you till I die
I think I'm really gonna love you till I die,
Somehow you make me wanna love you till I die
I've never known a love to last
I've seen a lot of loves go past
I don't know how, but I know why
I'm gonna love you till I die
I don't know how, but I know why
I'm gonna love you till I die
