The babirusas are a genus Babyrousa, in the pig family (Suidae). They live in Wallacea, or the Indonesian islands of Sulawesi, Togian, Sula and Buru.
They are often called deer pigs. All members of this genus were part of a single species. After the split into several species, Babyrousa is restricted to the Buru babirusa from Buru and Sula, whereas the best-known species, the north Sulawesi babirusa is named B. celebensis.
The name "pig-deer" has sometimes also been used in English, and is a direct translation of the Indonesian babi-rusa.
