Babirusa
Babyrousa babyrussa

This relative of the pig is found on the island of Sulawesi and nearby small islands. The upper tusks of the fetus are in the normal position, but during development they rotate 180 degrees so that the tusk is emerging upwards. The tusks then curl in a broad circle in front of the eyes. Early accounts speculated that the males used these tusks to hang from tree branches in the forest until an unsuspected female wandered along, whereupon the male dropped to the ground!
