| Indian wild hogs have teeth that grow outside of their mouths. |
The babirussa or babyrussa is a wild hog which inhabits Celebes and other East Indian islands. It is an active animal, with a nearly naked skin, and does not root in the ground as do other members of its family. The upper canine teeth do not grow downward, but upward, through openings in the skin of each side of the snout, and they curve backward nearly to the eyes. The natives still hunt the babirussa for its delicately flavored flesh.
