peccary Mylohyus
Known from the Late Pliocene to Late Pleistocene, Mylohyus fossilis is the most common peccary of the Late Pleistocene (Rancholabrean) of Florida. It is believed to be a forest dweller. The two holes in the mandible may be canine tooth punctures. Some other Florida peccaries, such as M. nasutus, are referred now to M. fossilis.
