All animals under Order Artiodactyla Suborder Ruminantia chew cud and have split or cloven hooves. Families Antilocapridae, Bovidae, Cervidae, Giraffidae, Moschidae and Tragulidae are all under this suborder and contain the following animals that chew cud:
Family Antilocapridae:Goats, Sheep and Deer are all kosher because they contain the two parameters required by the Torah. Like cows, they all chew their cud and have split hooves. Many animals contain one of these requirements, which is not sufficient. Such as the pig which ONLY has split hooves.
Chickens do not have hooves at all and do not chew their cud. They are however considered to be Kosher animals according to Jewish tradition.
Cloven hooves is a evolutionary process with the only possible explanation being because they live in a variety of environments that needs them to have two hooved toes to grip a surface that a horse's hoof could have trouble with. Other than that, there really is no real explanation.
Yes, all animals that have horns also do have hooves on their feet. These type of animals are called Artiodactylas.
To name all the kosher and non kosher animals every living thing on earth would have to be named. It may be simpler to go to the following website for guidance in this matter.
Oh dear. Civets do not have split hooves. Nor do they, in fact, have cloven hooves. Civets do not have hooves at all. They are, indeed, like the horse, the zebra, the ox, the red river hog--they are mammals. But they are not the same type of mammals at all. Civets, instead, are somewhat catlike. They look a bit like a cat crossed with, say, a lemur and a raccoon and maybe--maybe--a ferret. None of these animals has a single hoof.
Yes. Keeping kosher is far healthier. For example, shellfish which are forbidden, eat all the garbage of the sea, and are pretty contaminated. Also G-OD forbid all animals that there hooves aren't split, and it turns out that the split hooves let out a lot of toxins, that you would have ate, had it been a non-kosher animal.
Cattle (including cows, bulls, heifers, steers and oxen), sheep, goats, deer, elk, and bison.
Teeth because all animals need to chew their food.
Almost all animals chew food!
The Torah requires that animals that Jews consume have split hooves and chew their cud. Horses do not have split hooves. http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Cookbook:Kosher Horses also do not chew cud.
Camels, giraffes, antelope, zebras and rhinos are all animals that one might find at a zoo and they all have hooves.
