San Diego zoo

The right forelimb is hiding behind the head/snout. It's a javelina, so a tayassuid, not a suid. They are closely related to pigs, but have been a separate lineage for over 30my (IIRC). Basically, pigs are Old world and javalinas are New world.
 
Oops. Just looked it up and allegedly, tayassuid fossils are found in both the New and Old worlds. But I believe that now they are only New World and that pigs are Old world in origin.
