Sep 20, 2015 at 19:48 comment added Obie 2.0 As KillingTime has already stated, hooved animals that were probable predators existed at some point in Earth's history. There also is a bit of an issue with the question. Hooves are probably inferior for killing prey. However, hooves are excellent for moving at high speeds in flat terrain, which is of course where many hooved animals are found. That a hooved predator that kills prey with a bite is possible is demonstrated by KillingTime. We cannot conclude that such a predator might not have very similar pressures to evolve hooves as would, for example, horses.
