The attraction said, “A newly discovered animal, comprising the head and eye of an elephant, the horns of an antelope, a long black beard, the hind parts of a lion, the foreparts of a bison, cloven-footed, has a flowing mane from shoulder to fetlock joint and chews the cud.” ❋ Unknown (2009)
This deity seems to have passed from the Greek and Roman religions into the Christian story as the sexualized cloven-footed Satin by way of the Persian/Zoroastrian Angra Mainyu? ❋ James Gurney (2009)
Somebody, somewhere in this state must be listening, surely we can't be this stupid to allow this into the mainland, let alone inside Kansas. excerpt Scientists, farmers and government officials for 80 years have kept the U.S. mainland free of the virus that causes foot-and-mouth disease — a horrific, highly contagious killer of cloven-footed livestock such as cattle. ❋ Michael Caddell (2008)
For example, if one uses the differentia footed to divide the genus animal, one then uses a differentia such as cloven-footed for the next division. ❋ Cohen, S. Marc (2008)
If we had descended to the next order of spectators, we should have found an equal degree of abhorrence, though less of noise and scurrility; yet here the good women gave Black George to the devil, and many of them expected every minute that the cloven-footed gentleman would fetch his own. ❋ Unknown (2004)
The old wretch, whom divers of our sailors supposed to be either a devil or a witch, had her buskins plucked off to see if she were cloven-footed, and for her ugly hue and deformity we let her go; the young woman and the child we brought away. ❋ Unknown (2003)
Of all solid-hooved animals the Indian ass alone has an astragalus or huckle-bone; for the pig, as was said above, is either solid-hooved or cloven-footed, and consequently has no well-formed huckle-bone. ❋ Unknown (2002)
We have formerly given the reason why some animals are large, some smaller, and some between the two, and speaking generally, with regard to the number of young produced, the solid-hoofed produce one, the cloven-footed few, the many-toed many. ❋ Unknown (2002)
The great majority of the horned animals are cloven-footed, as the ox, the stag, the goat; and a solid-hooved animal with a pair of horns has never yet been met with. ❋ Unknown (2002)
A proof of this is that the elephant is the largest of animals and yet is many-toed, and the camel, the next largest, is cloven-footed. ❋ Unknown (2002)
Its legs are hairy; it is cloven-footed, and the tail, which resembles that of the ox, seems not big enough for the size of its body. ❋ Unknown (2002)
The cloven-footed animals again produce few, except the pig, which belongs to those that produce many. ❋ Unknown (2002)
Both these animals have horns and are cloven-footed; the female, however, of the hippelaphus has no horns. ❋ Unknown (2002)
The reason of this is that the one-hoofed produce one young one, and the cloven-footed either one or two generally speaking; now it is easy to bring the few to perfection. ❋ Unknown (2002)
The cloven-footed animals have two clefts behind; in the solid-hooved this part is continuous and undivided. ❋ Unknown (2002)
Some of the vivipara produce their young imperfect, others perfect; the one-hoofed and cloven-footed perfect, most of the many-toed imperfect. ❋ Unknown (2002)
The pig alone produces both many and perfect young, and thus here alone we find any overlapping; it produces many as do the many-toed animals, but is cloven-footed or solid-hoofed (for there certainly are solid-hoofed swine). ❋ Unknown (2002)
Therefore we must not say, if we are to speak rightly, that of that which is endowed with feet one part has feathers and one is featherless (if we do this we do it through incapacity); we must divide it only into cloven-footed and not cloven; for these are differentiae in the foot; cloven-footedness is a form of footedness. ❋ Aristotle (2002)
It is cloven-footed, and has not got teeth in both jaws; and it is cloven footed in the following way: at the back there is a slight cleft extending as far up as the second joint of the toes; and in front there are small hooves on the tip of the first joint of the toes; and a sort of web passes across the cleft, as in geese. ❋ Unknown (2002)
