The babirusa is a unique member of the pig family known for its long, curving tusks. Its name means "deer pig" and refers both to the antler-like tusks, and the long, deer-like legs. Babirusa are only found in the Wallacea island group in Indonesia. These animals are only located on specific islands in the Wallacea group, and their presence on some islands but not others may be due to humans bringing them from island to island to give as gifts. All babirusa types face threats from hunting and habitat loss, and are either listed as vulnerable or endangered Like all Safari Ltd products, this figurine has been individually hand painted, features quality construction from phthalate and lead-free materials, and includes an educational hangtag in 5 languages.

This babirusa measures 4 inches long and 2.25 inches high, about as tall as a credit card stood on its side, and just a bit longer. Its wrinkly skin is grayish brown above and pale pink below, with dark brown hooves and snout. Its tusks are a light beige.
