Not all ruminants have horns. While many species, such as cattle and sheep, possess horns, others, like deer, typically have antlers instead, which are shed and regrown annually. Additionally, some ruminants, like female sheep and certain goat breeds, may be hornless. Thus, the presence of horns varies among ruminant species.

Are all cloven animals ruminants?
Not all cloven animals are ruminants. Cloven animals, or even-toed ungulates, include both ruminants, like cows and sheep, which have a specialized stomach for fermentation and digestion, and non-ruminants, like pigs and hippos, which do not. While ruminants possess a complex stomach structure that allows them to break down fibrous plant material through fermentation, non-ruminants have simpler digestive systems. Thus, while there is overlap, the two categories are distinct.
Are there examples of ruminants and non-ruminants in Africa?

All ruminants have two toes therefore why are swine not ruminants?
It is proof that the conclusion that "all animals that are cloven hooved (or have 'two toes') are ruminants" is false. Swine are not ruminants because they have a simple stomach, not a four-chambered stomach, and thus are omnivorous animals. Other animals that are two-toed or cloven-hooved but are not ruminants are camelids (camels, alpacas, and llamas, for example), which are known as pseudoruminants due to the fact that they only have a three-chambered stomach.
