Suborder Suidae - Suidae

Japanese: イノシシ亜目 - いのししあもく
Suborder Suidae - Suidae

...In more evolved species, the parotid, interdigital, metatarsal, and inguinal glands are well developed, and males often have bony horns on their heads, and other secondary sexual characteristics are prominent. Like the Perissodactyla, they descended from the Ankylodes order, and the oldest ungulates, the Palaeodontidae of the Suidae suborder, appeared in North America in the early Eocene of the Tertiary Period of the Cenozoic Era. The Palaeodontidae of the Suidae suborder soon declined, but the Ruminantidae of the Middle Eocene era gradually flourished, displacing the Perissodactyla. In addition to domestic pigs, camels, llamas, alpacas, reindeer, cattle, water buffalo, yaks, bantengs, gayars, sheep, and goats, there are 211 known extant wild species, distributed almost throughout the world except Antarctica and Australia.

*Some of the terminology that refers to the "Suidae" suborder is listed below.
