Domestic Pig-Babirusa Mix piglets, Denmark [REUTERS 2006-08-19]

Newborn hybrid piglets lie in their enclosure at Copenhagen Zoo August 16, 2006. Five new hybrid piglets were produced following a chance encounter when zoo personnel introduced two domestic pigs into the babirusa's (Babyrousa babyrussa) enclosure after the latter showed signs of depression, local media reported. The new breed has not yet been classified, and zoo staff is guarded in their long-term prognosis for the species. Picture taken August 16, 2006.

The Pig / Babirusa hybrid is the result of breeding a Babirusa and a domestic Pig.

The Copenhagen Zoo had a lonely male Babirusa, which they decided
to put in the pen with the two domestic female pigs. They noticed that
the animals mated, but were certain that nothing would come of this.
The Babirusa and the domestic Pig species are not exactly compatible.
One of the female pigs became pregnant and gave birth to five piglets.
One died shortly after birth, but 2 male and 2 female piglets are still
alive and apparently well.
