Description
Duboisia santeng is a species of bovid that lived in Southeast Asia during late Pleistocene 750,000 years ago. It was found from a fossil in Trinil Fossil Bed in East Java, Indonesia by a Dutch paleoanthropologist Eugene Dubois. Its closest living relatives are four-horned antelope and nilgai from India. This antelope is a forest dweller where it browsed for fruits and leaves similar to today's four-horned antelope. It was previously thought to be endemic to java until a description of another specimen coming from Thailand in 2018, showing that there's a flow of faunas from mainland Asia to western part of Indonesia connected by Sunda Shelf during glacial period.Another lost entry for PaleoNusantara due to college stuffs...
