Teeth that look like hornsSourced
A male babirusa’s upper tusks grow through its snout
Male babirusas from Indonesian islands have upper canine tusks that penetrate the skin of the snout and curve back towards the forehead. Their form varies between species; females have reduced canines or none.
The structures above the face begin as teeth, not horns.
