With long, curved canine teeth that protrude upward through their skin, babirusas (also known as deer pigs) resemble some nightmarish Dalían hybrid of a mastodon and a hog. But before they earn those tusks, baby babirusas are bundles of clumsy cuteness. And luckily for us, the Nashville Zoo’s babirusas Dobby and Tinsel recently welcomed their very first piglet: Garland. Sweet baby Garland’s spindly legs currently support a rotund, wrinkled pot belly and complement her long snout, which we will love regardless of whether she grows into it. This babirusa family is also a recent species addition to the Nashville Zoo, so check out the new exhibit and watch Garland run circles around her doting parents.
