Hemitragus bonali, the Bonal tahr, is an extinct species of bovid from the Pleistocene of Europe and the Caucasus mountains region.[2]
The most recent remains of the Bonal tahr were found in layers dating from 298,000 ± 55,000 ka.[3] The Bonal tahr was closely related (and possibly ancestral to) another extinct European tahr species, Hemitragus cedrensis.[4]
