Thunderfoot, Fleetfoot And Longcoat
"Who remembers the name of the order to which all members of the Deer family belong?" asked Old Mother Nature.

"I remember what it means, but not the name," spoke up Happy Jack Squirrel. "It means hoofed."

"It is Un--Un-Ungu--" began Peter Rabbit and then stopped. For the life of him he couldn't think of the rest.

"Ungulata," Old Mother Nature finished for him. "And Happy Jack has the meaning right. It is the order to which all hoofed animals belong. There are several families in the order, one of which you already have learned about--the Deer family. Now comes the family of Cattle and Sheep. It is called the Bovidae family, and the biggest and most important member is Thunderfoot the Bison, commonly called Buffalo.

"Thunderfoot is more closely related to Bossy, Farmer Brown's Cow, than are the members of the Deer family, for he has true horns, not antlers. These are hollow and are not dropped each year, but are carried through life. Mrs. Thunderfoot has them also. The horns grow out from the sides of the forehead and then curve upward and inward, and are smooth and sharp. They are never branched.
