Babirusa Hoodies

Canon Rebel T3i. Babirusa is a Maylasian term meaning deer-pig. These exotic, nearly hairless swine have thick, wrinkly skin and elongated legs that allow them to run swiftly like deer. Males can be recognized by their long protruding tusks, while female tusks are shorter and typically not visible. I captured this cute Babirusa smelling the flowers, or maybe thinking about having a nimble. Riverbanks Zoo. Columbia, South Carolina USA. Thank you for looking at my Photography!!! Cynthia
