About Stockoceros
Stockoceros is an extinct genus of the North American artiodactyl family Antilocapridae (pronghorns), one known to have inhabited what is now Mexico and the Southwestern United States during the Pleistocene epoch. The genus survived until about 12,000 years ago, and was present when Paleo-Indians arrived in North America from Eurasia.
