Ugandax Explained

Ugandax is an extinct genus of bovines in the subtribe Bubalina that lived from the Miocene to the Pleistocene of Africa.[1] [2] Cladistic analyses suggest Ugandax represents an ancestral form of the African buffalo, Syncerus,[3] and teeth assigned to Ugandax represent the earliest appearance of bovines in Africa.[4]
