bovid
Part of speech: noun
adj
Morphological type: derivation

pos: noun
gloss: Of, relating to, belonging to, or characteristic of animal of the family Bovidae (such as the antelope, cattle, goat, and sheep).
pos: adj
examples: The land slopes at every turn in this pristine pocket of northern Otsego County. […] It appears that little would link this quiet corner to the hurly-burly of immigrant hubs like Jackson Heights and Elmhurst in Queens, or Atlantic Avenue in downtown Brooklyn. But Phillip D. Metzger saw the connection: hollow-horned bovid ruminants. That is, goats. Or more specifically, goat meat.
[S]he [Maria Antonietta Avanzo] also “spent her life fighting prejudice, ostracism, obstacles and men,” recounts her biographer, Luca Malin, “especially when they would throw things in her way or herd sheep onto the track to keep her from getting to the finish line.” Happily, women today can anticipate fewer barriers, at least of the bovid kind.
Twenty more specimens, including a complete skin, were subsequently collected and, in 1993, laboratory tests revealed the animal to be not only a new species, but an entirely new genus in the bovid family, which includes cattle, sheep, goats and antelopes.
