Wild pig Babirousa babyrussa, becoming
increasingly rare, found in the moist
forests and by the water of Sulawesi,
Buru, and nearby Indonesian islands. The male
has large upper tusks which grow upwards
through the skin of the snout and curve back
towards the forehead. The babirusa is up to
80 cm/2.5 ft at the shoulder. It is
nocturnal, and swims well.
