Cainochoerus

Cainochoerus was an extinct genus of even-toed ungulates which lived during the Miocene and Pliocene in Africa. Fossils have been found in Kenya, Ethiopia and South Africa.

Cainochoerus was a very small, cursorial pig. It was originally described as a species of peccary based on its simple single-cusped premolars. Among the living pigs, the small pygmy hog can be considered an analogue.
