Merycochoerus is an extinct genus of terrestrial herbivore of the family Merycoidodontidae (oreodont), endemic to North America during the Late Oligocene to Early Miocene (28.4—16.3 mya). The photo was taken by DMNH personnel during the course of their work documenting the Museum building and exhibits.
