8. Deadly Tusks: The Curse Of Berry Busa Pigs
In Indonesia, the berry busa pig boasts upper canines that transform into formidable tusks, measuring up to twelve inches in length. These tusks are thought to have evolved as a protective mechanism during breeding seasons, safeguarding the pig’s eyes and throat. However, if the tusks are not regularly worn down through natural activities, they can curl back into the boar’s skull, resulting in significant harm or even mortality. This serves as a stark reminder of the importance of proper maintenance and the potential dangers that arise when nature’s weaponry turns against its own wielder.
