📖 1. Overview

The Sulawesi babirusa is a wild pig living in the humid forests of Sulawesi, Indonesia, famous for the male's upper canines that pierce right through the top of the snout as they grow.

🦴 2. Anatomy & Morphology

In males, the upper canines grow upward through the skin of the snout and can reach 30 cm in length. Its rough, brownish-gray skin has very little hair and lies in heavy folds.

🔍 3. Ecology & Behavior

Unlike other pigs, it does not root in the ground with its snout, feeding mainly on leaves, fallen fruits, and mushrooms. Gestation lasts 150–157 days, producing one or two piglets.
