Bovoidea
Superfamily of ruminants
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bovoidea is a superfamily of pecoran ruminants containing the Bovidae and Moschidae. The Bovoidea today is defined in part by very specific dental and anatomical traits, and genetic research indicates that the Moschidae is the sister taxon to the Bovidae.[1][2][3]
