Parachleuastochoerus
''Parachleuastochoerus'' was an extinct genus of even-toed ungulates that existed during the Miocene in Europe. It was a smaller descendant of the ''Conohyus'' genus, with narrower cheek teeth Cheek teeth or post-canines comprise the molar and premolar teeth in mammals. Cheek teeth are multicuspidate (having many folds or tubercles). Mammals have multicuspidate molars (three in placentals, four in marsupials, in each jaw quadrant) and ... and reduced premolars.

Tetraconodon
''Tetraconodon'' was an extinct genus of even-toed ungulates that existed during the middle and late Miocene in Asia (India, Pakistan, Thailand, Myanmar). Description The last two pairs of premolars of ''Tetraconodon'' were extremely large, while the first two premolars were small, a unique characteristic of tetraconodontinae not found in other suids. ''Tetraconodon magnum'' was largest species, while ''T. malensis'' is the smallest. Originally known from only the oversized premolars, ''T. magnum'' was once believed to have reached sizes comparable to that of a hippopotamus or rhinoceros A rhinoceros (; ; ), commonly abbreviated to rhino, is a member of any of the five extant species (or numerous extinct species) of odd-toed ungulates in the family Rhinocerotidae. (It can also refer to a member of any of the extinct species .... Once more material was recovered, such size estimates were invalidated, but it was nonetheless a large suid.
