Short description: Extinct genus of mammals

Ugandax is an extinct genus of bovines in the subtribe Bubalina that lived from the Miocene to the Pleistocene of Africa.^[2]^[3] Cladistic analyses suggest Ugandax represents an ancestral form of the African buffalo, Syncerus,^[4] and teeth assigned to Ugandax represent the earliest appearance of bovines in Africa.^[5]
