Megalovis

Megalovis is an extinct genus of bovid that lived in Eurasia during the Plio-Pleistocene.

Taxonomy
Megalovis is typically considered a member of the subtribe Ovibovina of the Caprini tribe within the Antilopinae subfamily, which includes the living musk-ox. However, certain cranial characteristics like the teeth and horns are more similar to goats in the subtribe Caprina. Megalovis survived until the end of Villafranchian, approximately 1 million years ago. ==Description==
