babirusa

A friendly mob that lives in the jungle or swamp.
They often act in groups of three, sniffing with their noses and searching for food.
The animal that became the model for this mob is currently designated as an endangered species, so I think it should be added to Minecraft.
If you have any other good ideas, please let us know in the comments.
Thank you for taking a look at my idea.

    Which endangered species are you referring to? Bush dogs?

    The animal that became the model for this mob is an evening horned animal belonging to the genus Babirusa of the Suidae family that inhabits Indonesia, and is also called "deer hog".

    Oh my bad, I thought Babirusa was a made up name and animal based on something haha
    I know now what animal you talking about. It’s those swine/hogs which tusks grow in curve into their own heads, right? Then maybe a way to tame a babirusa in Minecraft, is to shear the tusks of one that has grow too long. A tamed babirusa may sniff out items for you
