Mini pig cuteness alert! Dr. Yang @ MWU Anatomy and team members published a new article on the discovery of a fossil mini pig (Cainochoerus) in Kenya. Unlike most "mini pigs" online, Cainochoerus is a true mini pig, standing at ~knee height. Unfortunately, it went extinct a few million years back.
