Sus cebifrons

The species has already been wiped out on four of the six Philippine islands it once occupied. Interbreeding with free-ranging domestic pigs is quietly erasing the wild genome even where the animals persist. It has three pairs of facial warts, thought to shield the face during fights between boars.
