Hayoceros is an extinct pronghorn from Nebraska.
It was about 1.8 metres (5.9 ft) in body length, and, in most respects, resembled modern pronghorns. However, in addition to the pair of forked horns located above the eyes, as in modern pronghorns, it also possessed a second, longer and unforked, pair on the back of the skull. Most likely, males used these to fight in a fashion similar to modern pronghorns, locking horns and then pushing until the opponent gave in.[1]
