Euceratherium

Euceratherium, also called the shrubox, is an extinct genus of ovibovine caprine known from the Pleistocene of North America and China. Two species have been proposed: the type species Euceratherium collinum named in 1904, and a second species Euceratherium bizzelli, named in 1937. Some researchers have expressed that the differences between these species may actually be individual variation, or variation within a single species.

Euceratherium (Syn.: Preptoceras, Aftonius) war eine Gattung der Hornträger, die bis zum Ende des Pleistozäns in Nordamerika lebte. Die Tiere erinnerten etwas an Rinder, was ihnen den englischen Namen „shrub-oxen“ (=Buschochsen) eintrug.
