Togian babirusa

The Togian babirusa, Babyrousa togeanensis, also known as the Malenge babirusa, is the largest species of babirusa. It is endemic to the Togian Islands of Indonesia and was treated as a subspecies of Babyrousa babyrussa until 2002. Compared with the better known North Sulawesi babirusa, it is larger, has a well-developed tail tuft, and the upper canines of the male are relatively short and slender, rotated forwards and always converging. It is omnivorous and feeds mainly on roots and fallen fruit, and also on worms and invertebrates. Unlike other pigs, it does not root at the ground with its snout when foraging but instead paws at the ground to uproot plants.
