At first glance, it has very impressive horns, but in fact, they are not horns but teeth.
But it looks uncomfortable because if your teeth grow like that, you might stab your head.
Babirusa males are friends destined to be slowly impaled to death by their own teeth.
What’s even more absurd is that these teeth are directional, but their strength is so weak that they can’t even be used as weapons.
It’s literally just for decoration.
Why on earth was Babirusa born with a life-saving organ attached to her body?
Babirusa females have been preferring males with large, useless organs.
As a result, only males with larger teeth survived the competition.
The process by which animals evolve useless or even harmful decorative organs to attract the opposite sex is called sexual selection.
It is the result of the will to procreate today even if tomorrow a hole breaks through and dies.
Males often show great sexual selection, and birds, including the colorful peacock feathers, are examples.
In any case, the development of display organs due to sexual selection is a common occurrence found all over the world, not only in Babirusa.
There is no need to curse at your wild boar friends for evolving like a beetle.
