The babirusa, sometimes called the "deer-pig," is a member of the swine family native to the Indonesian archipelago. Male babirusas are distinguishable by their unique tusks which, if not worn down or broken in combat, will eventually glow long enough to pierce the animal's skull. ”Babirusa” is Malay for “hog deer,” a name that arose from the resemblance their tusks bear to antlers.
