Cud is a portion of food that ruminant animals, such as cows and sheep, regurgitate from their stomachs to chew again for better digestion. Hoof refers to the hard, protective covering on the feet of certain animals, including horses, cattle, and deer, which aids in weight-bearing and provides traction. Both terms are associated with the anatomy and digestive processes of specific mammals.
Yes, but it does not chew the cud
Lev:11:3: Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat. Lev:11:7: And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you. Lev:11:26: The carcases of every beast which divideth the hoof, and is not clovenfooted, nor cheweth the cud, are unclean unto you: every one that toucheth them shall be unclean. Deut:14:7: Nevertheless these ye shall not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the cloven hoof; as the camel, and the hare, and the coney: for they chew the cud, but divide not the hoof; therefore they are unclean unto you.

Answer:Anyone CAN eat anything they want to... or dare to. However, God tells us in His Word what meat is GOOD for us to eat, provided it's prepared in the manner He also commands. Our Creator wants us to he healthy... thus, the "dietary laws."Some of the "clean meats" fit for human consumption are those not just with "split hooves"... but they must also "chew the cud.""Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, AND cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat. Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: as the camel, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean to you... the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean to you... the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you..." (Lev.11:3-7).According to the Bible, these two criteria determine whether an animal is fit for human consumption. The unclean animals also "can" be eaten... but, according to the Bible, "shouldn't be."
Lev:11:6: And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.

This is not correct. Jews can eat cloven-hoof mammals. However, this is necessary, but insufficient condition for determining a kosher land animal. It must also ruminate or chew its cud. Therefore, the pig which does have a cloven hoof but does not ruminate may not be consumed. Cows, deer, lamb, bison, antelope, goats, and several other animals that have a cloven hoof and ruminate can be kosher (if slaughtered properly).
In Leviticus 11, God tells us what we are allowed to eat. Surprisingly, giraffe is kosher, because it has a split hoof and chews the cud.
