Shrub-ox
The shrub-ox (''Euceratherium collinum'') is an extinct genus and species of ovibovine caprine native to North America along with '' Bootherium'' (''Bootherium bombifrons'') and Soergel's ox (''Soergelia mayfieldi''). Descriptions ''Euceratherium'' was one of the first bovids to enter North America. It appeared on the continent during the early Pleistocene, long before the first bison arrived from Eurasia. It became extinct about 11,500 years ago. It was formally described in 1904. It is possibly synonymous with '' Bootherium'', although this is uncertain. Late Pleistocene shrub-ox remains are known from fossil finds spanning from northern California to central Mexico. In the East they were distributed at least into Illinois. ''Euceratherium'' was massively built and in size between a modern American bison and a musk ox Musk ( Persian: مشک, ''Mushk'') is a class of aromatic substances commonly used as base notes in perfumery.
