Miotragocerus

Miotragocerus, also known as the European Eland, is an extinct species of antelope that once lived in Europe in 10 to 8 million years ago. They were most likely browsers, according to their fossilized teeth and jaw shape. They were likely to have lived near bodies of water, such as many antelope species today. They might have become extinct due to an Ice age.[1]
