Buru babirusa Buru babirusa The Moluccan babirusa (Babyrousa babyrussa), also known as the Buru babirusa, golden babirusa or hairy babirusa, is a wild pig-like animal native to the island of Buru and the two Sula Islands of Mangole and Taliabu, all belonging to Indonesia. Traditionally, this relatively small species included the other babirusas as subspecies, but it has been recommended treating them as separate species based on differences in their morphology.

Taming is the deliberate, human-directed process of training an animal against its initially wild or natural instincts to avoid or attack humans, so that it instead learns to become tolerant of humans.
