I don't think it takes about the 10 animals which have both signs. I personally spoke to Rabbi Nosson Slifkin about it once (zootorah.org), as Aish HaTorah likes to use this as a 'proof' that Torah is true and he said even that statement about Moshe Feiginhttp://patentlawny.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5292734369805726323.post-64871550094986243382011-01-08T18:40:13.867-05:002011-01-08T18:40:13.867-05:00the claim you stated (that the kosher mammals desc...the claim you stated (that the kosher mammals described in the torah are the only ones known to exist) is certainly false.
