3. Big Urutau

9. Gar-beak
Also known as alligator fish, this species can weigh up to 25 kg. Its elongated snout, full of teeth, makes it unique, as it resembles an alligator more than a fish.
10. Babirussa
Babirussa is a wild pig who appears to have a dental problem, as his tusks grow through his snout and curve towards his forehead. In addition, its lower teeth protrude from the edge of its snout. Hence its name, which means “pig-deer”. Its tusks grow during its lifetime and can reach the skull if not worn down during fights with other males.
