Hippopotamidae

A review and 37-character cladistic analysis of 15 living and fossil hippopotamid taxa revises several historical assignments while retaining Hippopotamidae as the study’s focal family; the resulting membership is a sampled taxonomic hypothesis, not a complete fossil duration. This navigation entry is not a phylogeny or a complete taxon dossier.
