Description This part took the longest haha
I tried to show a decent range of species but ofc I can't fit them all! I'd love to do more angles with different species but references weren't readily available for a lot of them. 

This is just how *I* do my hooves of course. There is no proper "right"/"correct" way. I still have things to improve upon myself but while I'm here, might as well share what I know! 
Let me know if this helps you out!

References used of course. Some hooves are drawn/traced over a reference to make sure it's correct.

Images at the bottom are either free assets/resources located on free-to-use image bays or photographs I took myself.

You don't need to, but if you'd like to support me feel free to buy me a coffee!

Pretty much! All artiodactyls(two-toes hooves mammals) have the same basic hoof anatomy. The main difference between a kudu(and most antelope) and a deer is that the dewclaws are shorter and larger. Similar to a moose! The toecaps themselves will be pointer and shorter as well.

If you google the specific animal and add “hooves” then it may help! If that doesn’t work, I look for taxidermy of those animals, images of them in zoos, or dynamic poses like jumping and running where the hooves are out of the grass!
