This week I have a mammalian skull for you to have a go at identifying:
Any idea what this hornéd beast might be? You can pop your thoughts and suggestions in the comments below. Have fun!
Friday mystery object #408
Zygoma
Adventures in natural history collections
Zygoma 
Redunca arundinum?
Close.
I preferred bohor, but I could see no link to the “hornéd” é clue.
Don’t read too much into my choices of words 😉
Best guess at the moment is a beastie there’s a song about: Home, home on the range, where the deer and the antelope roan
Bit small for the roan
I’m going to guess Sable antelope
Bit small for a Sable.
does it hide in the reeds?
Only when it’s feeling shy.
What an odd angle!
Not a reedbuck, not a gazelle, his name means ‘tail’ and ‘erect’, collected by Mr C. ?
Sorry, not a Dibatag
We’ll have some ammo to fire at whatever dork-ass gets this one! Possibly.
The fancy é ‘clue’ only made things worse! 😅🐐
…Is that a flat-head screw painted white in its skull?
Yes. It wasn’t mounted with any sophistication whatsoever.
A redbuck? Although the horns curve towards the front rather than inwards . .
Red-fronted Gazelle – had reedbuck on my mind . .
