Just wanted to share a couple pictures of unusual hogs from other parts, first 2 are Babirusa found only on Sulawesi Island in Indonesia, and the third is a Red River Hog from the rain forests of Central Africa. The Male Babirusa's upper canines grow right through the top of snout giving him a fearsome look though the males prefer to fight on their hind legs using their front hooves like a boxer dog. The coat of the Red River Hog is quite stunning. Either would make a nice trophy though the Babirusa is protected due to low numbers from poaching, and habitat destruction.

Dang! I don't know if I'd shoot or mess my britches if one of those babirusas came trotting out of the bush. Looks like a cross between a hippo and a hawg, with a bad case of Birddawg thrown in!

Now that red one... I'd have to figure out how to preserve the skin from that fella. Seriously cool looking.

I've seen that type of hog on the TV before. Very strange how the tusks grow through their skull. The second Hog, if I'm not mistaken, is a bushpig from Africa. A very fine trophy animal.
