You mean they don't have hooves?
What does ungulate mean?
I liked my entry better. It may have been wrong and unscientific, but I could understand it! :-)))
"Ungulate" is a more precise category that roughly corresponds to "hooved". Yes, this text is a little less colloquial, but when all the links have ends on them, it will be more useful and educational. I don't know if we have a template yet for living things, but we probably should at some point.
You're right, it will be better. But I do think entries should be as useful as possible to nonspecialists, and that means introducing jargon with nonjargon whenever possible. E.g., you could say: "...are hooved animals (ungulates
?)..." and that would be a distinct improvement.
As I pointed out in
WikiIsNotPaper, I think links are far better than short glosses when there's something to link to. But in this case I think you may be right that both together work well (mainly because the gloss is very short and nonetheless complete and useful).
