The Babirusa is not a common animal. In fact, a lot of people have never heard of it.
The Babirusa is also called a pig-deer. It really looks like a pig - and rightfully so, because it actually belongs to the pig family. It is not related to the deer, however, but its tusks can be compared to a deer's horns because of the material and way they are formed.
In a nutshell, we can say that the Babirusa is a strange-looking pig with tusks.
