Wikipedia
babiroussa
The babirusas, also called deer-pigs (Indonesian: babi rusa), are a genus, Babyrousa, in the swine family found in the Indonesian islands of Sulawesi, Togian, Sula and Buru. All members of this genus were considered part of a single species until 2002, the babirusa, B. babyrussa, but following that was split into several species. This scientific name is restricted to the Buru babirusa from Buru and Sula, whereas the best-known species, the north Sulawesi babirusa, is named B. celebensis. The remarkable "prehistoric" appearance of these mammals is largely due to the prominent upwards incurving canine tusks of the males, which actually pierce the flesh in the snout.All species of babirusa are listed as threatened by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).

A babiroussa is a type of wild pig native to the Indonesian islands. It is characterized by its unique tusks, which grow upward through the top of its snout, and sparse body hair. Also known as "deer-pigs", they are rare and considered a threatened species due to habitat loss and hunting. The exact count of remaining babiroussa is unknown but estimated to be between 1,000 and 10,000.
