Description
Eumaiochoerus had a short snout, spatulate upper incisors and small, chisel-shaped lower tusks.
Fossils of Eumaiochoerus were found in Baccinello and Montebamboli in Italy, which at the time of its existence would have been an island chain. Eumaiochoerus does show characteristics of an insular mammal, being much smaller than its mainland relative Microstonyx.[3]
