Palaeoreas genus of Miocene bovid from Europe .
Geographic range
Palaeoreas lindermayeri fossils have been found in Bulgaria[ 2] [ 3]
Palaeoecology
Based on fossils from Pikermi and Samos, P. lindermayeri is believed to have had a browsing feeding style.[ 4] P. lindermayeri remains from northern Greece instead show it to have been a variable grazer or mixed feeder.[ 5]
