Bovidae

Bovidae

 The name of the family of hollow-horned ruminant mammals typified by the common ox,  taurus, and specially characterized by the presence on the skulls of the males or of both sexes of a pair of bony projections, or cores, covered in life with hollow sheaths of horn, which are never branched, and at all events after a very early stage of existence are permanently retained.
