There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Ice Age Mammals of North America by Ian M. Lange.

Piglike Animals - Suborder Suina - Peccaries - Family Tayassuidae.

Peccaries were plentiful in Pleistocene North America. Some of them, including our modern collared peccary ( Tayassu tajacu ) stand from 20 to 24 inches high and weigh from 30 to 65 pounds. Other subspecies ( now extinct ) measured from 28 to 30 inches high and were in the size range of modern European wild boars. These big peccaries included the flat-headed peccary ( Platygonus compressus ) and the long-nosed peccary ( Mylohyus nasutus ).
