Bearded Pig

With a fairly self-explanatory name, the bearded pig is similar to a regular pig, but with a beard.

These omnivorous foragers scour the jungles of Borneo. They are known to follow gibbons, macaques and other monkeys as they feed on fruiting trees, with the pigs collecting the leftover fruit that is dropped to the ground.

Not that any of that is important, I’m just trying to distract myself from the fact that this pig can grow a more impressive beard than I can.
