Redirect to Peccary
[edit]This article used to be a simple redirect to peccary. Maybe pecora is a regional name, or name in another language, for peccary, but the word pecora is never mentioned in the peccary article.
Pecora is also a widely used name for a clade of ruminants, as explained in the short article now posted here. If anyone knows of an alternative meaning of pecora, feel free to add a link to it at the top of this article.
Fossil Range
[edit]The fossil range for Pecora says that they originated 20 million years ago, yet Palaeomerycidae, almost definite pecorans, are known from the Eocene. ~Lord Marcellus 18:17, 29 June 2014 (UTC)
Why the peccaries?
[edit]The collage in the infobox has some images of peccaries even though they're not pecorans and aren't mentioned in the article. Based on previous talk sections here, I assume this is caused by some misunderstanding from dialect? Please stop. (talk) 04:10, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
