(the ‘pecora’ are an ‘infra-order’ 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 2 ‘extant genera’ lack them…)

Hydropotes 

Moschus.

(the name ‘pecora’ comes from the latin word pecus, which means β€œhorned livestock”)

(although most ‘pecorans’ have ‘cranial appendages’, only some of these are properly called β€œhorns”, and many scientists agree that these appendages did not arise from a common ancestor, but instead evolved independently on at least 2 occasions)

.

(likewise, while ‘pecora’ as a group is supported by both ‘molecular’ + ‘morphological’ studies, morphological support for inter-relationships between ‘pecoran families’ is disputed)
