409409Celebochoerus (†Celebochoerus (Hooijer 1848))
Order: Artiodactyla
Family: Suidae
Expansion and period of existence: Pliocene and Pleistocene in Sulawesi, Indonesia, and the middle Pleistocene of Luzon, in the Philippines.
Dimensions: length - 210 cm, height - 100 cm, weight - 200 - 300 kg.
Celebochoerus is an extinct genus of giant suid artiodactyl that existed during the Pliocene and Pleistocene in Sulawesi, Indonesia, and the middle Pleistocene of Luzon, in the Philippines. It is not thought to be closely related to Babyrousa, and seems to be quite distinct from any other known suid. It has been suggested that its extinction is correlated with the geographical expansion of anoa, babirusa and Celebes warty pig ranges.
