Cloven hoof of a roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) A cloven hoof, cleft hoof, divided hoof or split hoof is a hoof split into two toes. This is found on members of the mammalian order Artiodactyla. Examples of mammals that possess this type of hoof are cattle, deer, pigs, antelopes, gazelles, goats, and sheep. In folklore and popular culture, a cloven hoof has long been associated with the Devil.
On the surface, two or four sticky-edged, silk web sheets, consisting of cribellate silk mixed with sand, form thick mats (or flaps) with slits around their peripheries. The mats cover shallow and symmetrically placed depressions, that are linked to the simple and vertical, silk-lined burrow. Repeated opening of the silky flaps create an impression in the sand which can be likened to a cleft hoof imprint or, in some species, the shape of a four- leaf clover. Sticky silk threads along the margins of the silk mats entangle small arthropods that venture too close.
