The Togian babirusa (Babyrousa togeanensis), also known as the Malenge babirusa,[3][4] is the largest species of babirusa. It is endemic to the Togian Islands of Indonesia, but was considered a subspecies of Babyrousa babyrussa until 2002.[1] Compared to the better-known north Sulawesi babirusa, the Togian babirusa is larger, has a well-developed tail-tuft, and the upper canines of the male are relatively "short, slender, rotated forwards, and always converge".[5][6] The Togian babirusa is omnivorous, feeding mainly on roots and fallen fruit but also worms and invertebrates.[7] Unlike other pig species, the Togian babirusa does not root at the ground with its snout when foraging, but instead can be seen pawing at the ground to uproot plants.[8]
