The pig is more than 2 meters tall at the shoulder and more than 3 meters in length. They all have a pair of large, frighteningly large canine teeth, sharp premolars, and a long, frighteningly large mouth. But in fact, they originated from the same suborder as real pigs and hippos--- the order of paleodonts, and like members of the giant pig family such as the toothed beasts, they have become extinct.
The life habits of the phobia pig are similar to those of the ancient giant pig and the complete-tooth pig, and the staple food of the phopodic pig is plants, but it also often eats or attacks small animals, as well as robs small carnivores of food. It is possible that piglets are small group activities because their modern relatives, including hippos, tend to live in small groups or families, and fossils of phobia pigs found in the United States also prove that pigs not only live in groups, but also take care of injured and aging members. After entering the Miocene, most of the giant pig family has died, and the Phobia pig that appeared in the Miocene is the latest surviving age in the giant pig family, and they suddenly became extinct in the Miocene, which is the standard for the complete demise of the giant pig family, and the reason for its demise is still unknown.
Piglets are more suitable for omnivorous life, and carrion may be their favorite. The pig's desire for food is very strong, and it will rob food even after eating enough. The phobia pig is an active predator, from the bones of some herbivores found the teeth of the pig's teeth, they can not only hunt some ancient camels or rhinos, but also compete with the predatory dominant canine bears at that time.
The teeth of the phobia pig show that these guys also prefer nuts, roots and other vegetarian foods. At the top of their skulls, there are many protrusions that appear particularly exaggerated, which are characteristic of social people. They have a lot of scars on their skulls, and the most likely sources of these scars are group fights and food fights with other predators, such as canine bears. Their jaws can open to very large, similar to crocodiles, which will be beneficial for increasing the rate of eating. Their skulls are 2 times larger than those of canine bears and 5-6 times larger than those of humans, and their brain volume is not much different from that of animals of the same period.
The phobia pig lived in Nebraska in the early Miocene West of the United States 21 million years ago, and ran on the grassland with the secondary horse, the lima, the small ancient camel, the far-horned rhinoceros, and the Dafoe beast. A large number of fossils of phobia pigs have been found in inner Las California, probably due to drought causing these large men to flock to a dry riverbed and eventually die there.
