Hexaprotodon is a genus of Hippopotamidae that is sometimes applied to the Pygmy Hippopotamus . Pygmy hippos may be classified as either ''Choeropsis liberiensis'' or ''Hexaprotodon liberiensis''. The genus hexaprotodon also includes several species of rarely-studied extinct hippos from Asia, sometimes labeled "Asian Hippopotami."
The name Hexaprotodon means "six front teeth" as some of the fossil forms indeed have three pairs of Incisors . |
