[ noun ] (zoology) the horny covering of the end of the foot in hoofed mammals
Used in print (Helen Hooven Santmyer, "There Were Fences"...)Cows were kept in backyard barns , boys were hired to drive them to and from the pasture on the edge of town , and familiar to the ear , morning and evening , were the boys ' coaxing voices , the thud of hooves , and the thwack of a stick on cowhide . (Gene Caesar, Rifle for Rent....)There were no tracks of either hoofs or boots . (Edwin Booth, Outlaw Town....)Again he stood in the darkness listening , but there was only the scrape of a shod hoof on a plank floor . He slapped the buckskin again and it kicked wildly , its hoofs rattling the side of the stall . Related terms animal_foot horny_structure cloven_foot horse's_foot ungulate toe |
