Another image for the Allocene Project.
Allochoerus are large and inusual herbivore boars, mostly found in Africa. Their upper canine teeth are very reduced, while the lower are great and are used as a weapon. Also have distinctive bony projections in the cheeks, as part of their sexual display. It are more longer in males.
Another inusual feature is their toes: the ancestors of this animals fussed the two central toes (syndactylia), then the toes have a superficial resemblance to perissodactyls.
