Synthetoceras is an extinct species that was endemic to North America during the Late Miocene. It existed 12.5 – 4.7 million years ago. Fossils have been recovered from Nebraska and Texas.

Soft leaves, shoots, and assorted plants made up the daily diet. These large extinct mammals were browsers in their woodland environments. Short crowns on their teeth show they could not eat tough prairie grass.

A heavy layer of short fur covered the large deer-like body. Two normal horns grew above the eyes, while males had a massive Y-shaped snout horn. This bizarre snout horn had a fork at the tip for territorial combat. Females did not have this front headgear.

Fully grown adults reached about 79 inches in body length and weights between 330 and 440 pounds.
