Goats, sheep, cattle and horses have these types of hooves
Because the need them to land on stuff
they need to be protected for leaping aroud on mountans
The inner pad is spongy to aid in traction while climbing, and the hard outer trim aids in the protection of the hoof tissues.
So it could be able to freakin climb mountains
Mountain goats are equipped with this type of hoof. Equines, as in horses and donkeys, also have this style of foot. The inner soft spongy pad is called a frog.
A goat's hooves are designed with a soft spongy inner pad surrounded by a hard outer rim to provide optimal traction and shock absorption. The hard outer rim helps to support the animal's weight and protect its feet from rough terrain, while the inner pad allows for flexibility and cushioning, enabling goats to navigate rocky and uneven surfaces effectively. This unique hoof structure is essential for their agility and stability in their natural habitats.
The outer core
Their hooves are the main mechanism that enables them to climb rocks, this is due to the soft inner of the hoof, this grips on the rock like that of a shoe for humans. The hard outer rim protects the hoof from damages that rocks may cause.
The outer core.
The lithosphere is the outer layers of the earth surface and surrounds the inner parts of the earth.
The animal you are describing is likely the camel. Camels have unique hooves that feature a soft, spongy inner pad surrounded by a hard outer rim, which helps them navigate the desert terrain. This design provides stability on sandy surfaces and allows for better weight distribution, preventing them from sinking into the sand.
To enable them to grip the uneven surfaces of the terrain that makes up their home territory.
