Have you ever seen the Bornean bearded pig (Sus barbatus)? This bewhiskered swine inhabits rainforests and mangroves in parts of Southeast Asia, where it uses its long snout to dig up snacks like earthworms and roots. It’s often found in small groups, but sometimes gathers for mass migrations—during which more than a hundred bearded pigs can be spotted crossing rivers in search of fruit. This critter has the leanest torso and longest head of all living pigs.
