Syncerus acoelotus

Syncerus acoelotus is an extinct species of bovid closely related to the Cape buffalo. It lived during the Late Pliocene and Early Pleistocene.

Fossils of this species were first found in the Olduvai gorge back in 1978, and it was described several years later. S. acoelotus was larger than, and probably ancestral to, its living relative.
