Rusingoryx

Wikipedia Abstract

Rusingoryx atopocranion is an extinct alcelaphine bovid artiodactyl closely related to the Wildebeest that lived on the plains of Kenya during the Pleistocene. It is known for its strange pointed nose with a large nasal dome that displays convergent evolution with hadrosaurid dinosaurs, which also had similar skulls.
