Kubanochoerus

''Kubanochoerus'' is an extinct genus of large and long-legged animals in the pig family from the Miocene of Eurasia.
==Description==


The largest species, the aptly named ''K. gigas'', grew to be up at the shoulder, and probably weighed up to in life. The heads of these pigs were unmistakable, with small eyebrow horns, and a large horn emanating from the forehead of the males. It is speculated that the males used their forehead horns for jousting with each other.
The species ''K. massai'' was originally thought to be an African species belonging to this genus, as the first specimen shared the genus' distinctive eyebrow horns. Its lack of a forehead horn lead experts to interpret the skull as belonging to a female. However, recently, ''K. massai'' has been split off into its own genus, ''Libyochoerus'' (commemorating the fact that it was originally found in Libya.) Some species of the genus ''Megalochoerus'' have been also reassigned to ''Libyochoerus'', though, many experts do not agree with this.
