Usually found in the swamps and rainforests of Indonesian islands, babirusas have barrel-shaped bodies balanced on delicate, deer-like legsThe hairless babirusas, named Budi and Beth, will spend the first few weeks settling into their dens before they begin venturing outside where visitors will be able to spot them.Zookeeper Hannah Joy said:"No-one could call them beautiful."
Ms Joy said people who live alongside them in Indonesia call them"rat pigs" or"demon pigs, because of their long, misshapen tusks - which are actually teeth growing through their noses that curl backwards".The pigs eat leaves, fruits, berries, nuts, mushrooms, bark, insects, fish, and small mammals "Just like those famous characters they've absolutely won us all over - the way they wag their long stringy tails when they're happy is a joy to see.
How can anyone can call any creature ugly.... just because its not of ur liking doesnt mean its ugly.... lifeisbeautiful
Rude
They were created not to be called ugly
Awww nooooo they’re so cute
A pair of ugly pigs - sound familiar DianeAbbott2020 DawnButlerBrent ?
Nah bruh, wtf are those?

Enough about the visitors. What’s that about the animals?
Whats actually ugly about them? I actually think they are cute. They are misunderstood mammals. Poor things.. And l am sure they wouldn't want to be linked with pigs, just because they have a snout doesn't mean they r not their own unique animal. 😂
LewisHall2001 didn’t tell me you went to the zoo today? 😉😂
Pig 🐷 shaming! What next?
not a pleasant thing to look at, and don’t get me wrong I love animals and find little pigs so cute but this guys just stand toes to toes with bats and Trump.
Can you eat then
Now this could explain Middle East objection to eating pork!
Kardashians are in town!

They are better looking than many of the visitor's
There’s nothing wrong with them, all of God creatures are beautiful - I think they’re cute. 🐷 🐖
Donald Trump is uglier because it resonates from within
Don’t tell David Cameron.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Perhaps these pigs find humans extremely ugly looking animals.
Never judge a book by its cover.
they are trying their best
Hate crime! DefundTheBBC
Bit Harsh
Leave them alone!
Debatable- a certain individual who was recently banned from Twitter strikes a chord - you know the one, the nastiest of nasties Katie Hopkins

Imo they aren't ugly or demon like. They've merely evolved in such a way that suits their needs.
Maybe it’s just me, but Demon Pigs is a good name for a metal band. bandnames bandnamesarehard demonpigs

Who actually sat an thought the ugliest pigs in the world would be great for the Zoo?
So elephants CAN mate with pigs, I always wondered.
Had them at a zoo in Cambridgeshire, very friendly and loved a good scratch.
russians i assume.
Did they come across the channel in a dingy 🤔🛶
What's their bacon like?
Didn’t know Dawn Butler liked a zoo!

HorshamGardener XR have upped their costume budget, I see ...
They’re cute, why ugly!?
Who told you demons are ugly? Y'all lack imagination
Zoo's should of been gotten rid of a long time ago. it's just too cruel.
Pretty sure the met police have been the London zoo before
Beauty is in the eye 👁 of the beholder?

tharani5193 whatchu doing in the uk
You are utterly infantile. The fact that you consider yourselves to be journalists is an absolute travesty. The fact that you produce vapid tripe of this nature and still expect people to believe the BBC provides a valuable service is absolutely pathetic.
I feel like I have an instant kinship with them
Awwww. All animals are cute, even the not so photogenic ones.
All look the same in one of these....
Have they put the whole Tory Party into a pen? Good
Ugly are the hearts of man who have wasted these animals almost to extinction.
Demon Pigs?! bbcnews
I'd take them over humans any day 🐖🐖
Be nice what did they ever do to you? 😜
It says BBC but it seems like the Daily Mail.....
meganjanetsky does this bring back any memories?
Coming from ?
Cameron would still smash
the name probably don't help, does it? 😅 If I call my neighbor 'demon man', you wouldn't expect him to be a fancy lad.
ShaneH7646

No way to talk about cockneys, lads.
