Pigs

Yeah, I saw Walking with Prehistoric Beasts too, but what does that have to do with pigs???

Ask the poster who said they were related to pigs. It wasn't me, Stinky Pete. I think they look more like bears than pigs.

Maybe you meant the Entelodont? They're related to the pig.

Andrewsarchus was a hoofed animal and one theory supposes that they have a common ancestor with Entelodont and the other omnivorous ungulates (ie pigs) and possibly whales. When is was first discovered (a skull in 1923) it was thought to be a subspecies of Entelodont

Also Andrewsarchus has been described as a cross between a wolf and a wild boar

Entelodont

The entelodont gets my vote in the Miss Dire Sow pageant. They are mean-looking.

Is 7' on all fours and thick as a pig considered large or huge?

An entelodont would make a nice/nasty mount for an orcish army

The entelodont is a huge carnivorous scavenger related to the boar. It has a larger-than-average brain for a prehistoric beast, a bony skull and a powerful bite.

Combat

Unlike a boar, the entelodont has no goring tusks, but uses its large teeth and long, powerful muzzle to rip at opponents.

Ferocity (Ex): An entelodont is such a tenacious combatant that it continues to fight without penalty even while disabled or dying.

I always heard that it was more closely related to a goat than a pig....at least that's what I think i heard.

What do I know? I may have been drunk.
