Palaeomeryx tricornis

This is an extinct species of early deer or giraffeoid.https://www.mindat.org/taxon-9242893.htmlhttps://www.gbif.org/species/9242893 It is sometimes called Sinomeryx tricornishttps://www.mindat.org/taxon-P138936.html. As paleontologists have a tendency to force species into solo-genuses instead of grouping them into related genuses as proper with most species, and as the Wikipedia article for Palaeomeryx doesn't list any species, and as it is still in use despite claims of it having moved in 1998, I use Palaeomeryx here.
It may have had four horns and the males large canines, like others of its genus. It lived in the early-late Miocene. Scientists have debated whether it is more related to giraffarids or deer, see Palaeomeryx for more information.
