Yes, there are tenuous mammal-connected relationships there. I read that the peccary, or javelina, not only has a distant connection to the pig group, but is closer to boars, and moreover is connected to the hippopotamus. And the hippopotamus can be lethal -- don't get one angry, especially in its favored element of water, where the hippo is notorious for killing humans. Oh dear ... I knew this would remind me of "mud, mud, glo-ri-ous mud ..."
