The museum sign reads “At six-feet tall, Dinohyus more than earns its Latin name, terrible pig. It was the last and largest entelodont of North America. It was an omnivore, which means it ate pretty much whatever it wanted. Its large head was ornamented with bony projections.” Photo: By James St. John, Wikimedia]]>
