Entelodontidae is an extinct family of pig-like artiodactyls (even-toed ungulates) which inhabited the Northern Hemisphere (Asia, Europe, and North America) from the late Eocene [1] to the early Miocene epochs, about 38-19 million years ago.
The coffin bone, also known as the pedal bone (U.S.), is the distal phalanx, the bottommost bone in the front and rear legs of horses, cattle, pigs and other ruminants. It is encased by the hoof capsule. In horses and other odd-toed ungulates it is the third phalanx, or "P3"; in even-toed ungulates such as cattle, it is the third and fourth (P3 ...

The face of Iberian pigs is known as pestorejo or careta, and it includes the ears and snout (morro). [3] The lower parts of the head are the neck (papada) and the amygdalae (castañetas). [3] In the Philippines, the pig's face (the jowls, snout, and ears) is also a distinct cut called maskara ('mask'). [5]
Diagrams of hand skeletons of various mammals, left to right: orangutan, dog, pig, cow, tapir, and horse. Highlighted are the even-toed ungulates pig and cow. In even-toed ungulates, the bones of the stylopodium (upper arm or thigh bone) and zygopodiums (tibia and fibula) are usually elongated. The muscles of the limbs are predominantly ...
Because the fetal pigs were still in the mother's uterus, teeth will still form which supports reasons for hollow unerupted teeth that may be seen. Similar to human dental anatomy, the overall dental anatomy of the pig consists of incisors, canines, pre-molars, and molars. Piglets can have 28 teeth total and adult pigs can have 44 teeth total.
