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]
