What does EQUID mean in Scrabble?
noun
zoology
Any animal belonging to the horse family, including horses, donkeys and zebras.
Equid names any member of the family Equidae, the group of hoofed mammals that includes horses, donkeys, zebras and their wild relatives. All equids share slender legs built for running, a single hoofed toe on each foot, and a flowing mane along the neck. Fossil equids trace a long evolutionary line back to small forest-dwelling ancestors quite unlike the animals living today. Biologists prefer the general term equid when discussing the family as a whole rather than naming one particular species.
