This is BammBamm, a babirusa. A member of the pig family, this prehistoric-looking creature is native to the small Indonesian island of Sulawesi. The babirusa’s most distinctive feature is its tusks. As they age, the tusks can grow to a spectacular size, and on rare occasions, pierce their own skulls. In its native island home, over-hunting and conversion of their rainforest habitat to farmland have reduced their wild population to less than a few thousand. • SUBSCRIBE: https://goo.gl/vR6Acb • Follow us behind the scenes on Instagram: http://goo.gl/2KABeX • Make our acquaintance on Facebook: http://goo.gl/Vn0XIZ • Give us a shout on Twitter: http://goo.gl/sY1GLY • Come hang with us on Vimeo: http://goo.gl/T0OzjV • Visit our world directly: http://www.greatbigstory.com • This story is a part of our Planet Earth series.
