Meet Babirusa: The prehistoric ‘deer-pig’ with huge antlers–diet, habitat, significance, and more

The babirusa, also called the “deer-pig,” lives in Indonesia. It is known for its unusual upward-curving tusks. The babirusa lives in forests and eats plants and small animals. It is a shy animal and lives alone or in small groups. Sadly, the babirusa is endangered because people hunt it and destroy its forest home.
