Tethytragus

Tethytragus was a genus of caprine bovid that lived in the Middle[2] and Late Miocene.

[3] Tethytragus was a grazer or a mixed feeder in its feeding habits.

[4] Dental microwear and mesowear analyses of T. langai give conflicting evidence as to its dietary habits; the latter suggests an exclusively grazing diet while the former suggests mixed feeding habits; the totality of the evidence suggests the species was a mixed feeder on the grazing end of the spectrum between browsers and grazers.

[5] Paired 87Sr/86Sr, δ18OCO3, and δ13C measurements from the tooth enamel of Tethytragus sp.

from the Middle Miocene site of Gratkörn in Austria show it to have been a canopy browser that exclusively ingested C3 plants.
