Continuing our series, “Creatures that exist on this planet that you* never even fucking HEARD of”, I present the babirusa, the pig-deer of Indonesia. Check out this tusk arrangement! Spectacular. Those secondary tusks are actually their upper canines, which curve back and grow through their skulls. Ow! Impacted.
* Where by “you” I mean “me”.
