Massive Kerabau Skull

Paleokerabau bubalus
Pleistocene
Southeast Asia

Measuring a magnificent eight feet on the curve, the horns on this keraba skull are awe-inspiring. This formidable species must have lived in an open grassy environment, as its breath-taking horns would have hindered movement in forested terrain. This magnificent fossil was found in four separate pieces that fit together perfectly. Considering the habits of its modern relative, the water buffalo, and the buffalo of Africa, it is likely that the kerabau would have frequented marshy areas during the heat of the day. These rare fossils are found in very limited localities in Southeast Asia. Measures 66in from tip to tip
