Midrash for Chullin 141:1
בהמה טמאה בכלל חיה טמאה בהמה טהורה בכלל חיה טהורה
unclean cattle under 'unclean wild animals', and clean cattle under 'clean wild animals'.
Sifrei Devarim
(Devarim 14:4) "This is the beast that you may eat: the ox, the lamb of sheep, and the kid of goats, the hart, the gazelle, and the fallow deer" — whence we derive that animals (the last three) are in the category of "beast."
