Megalochoerus
Megalochoerus is an extinct genus of large and long-legged pig-like animals from the Miocene of Africa. Taxonomy. The species "M. khinzikebirus" and "M. marymuunguae" were once considered to belong to the related "Kubanochoerus" or "Libycochoerus", but have since been reassigned to "Megalochoerus". "Megalochoerus marymuuguae" was the smallest and earliest of the three species, while "M. humungous" was the latest occurring and largest. Description. "Megalochoerus" contained some of the largest suids ever known to exist. Weight estimates of "M. khinzikebirus", intermediate in size between the other two species, have been as high as based on dental morphology, easily  larger than other giant fossil pigs such as "Kubanochoerus" and "Notochoerus". Other calculations based on molar and humerus measurements have yielded lower estimates for "M. khinzikebirus"; based on measurements of the lower molar (m/1), and based on articulation of the distal humerus. Regardless, even the smallest estimates would suggest that the larger "M. humungous" was the largest known suid.
