Ugandax
Extinct genus of mammals / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ugandax is an extinct genus of bovines in the subtribe Bubalina that lived from the Miocene to the Pleistocene of Africa.[2][3] Cladistic analyses suggest Ugandax represents an ancestral form of the African buffalo, Syncerus,[4] and teeth assigned to Ugandax represent the earliest appearance of bovines in Africa.[5]
