Original – Skull of a male North Sulawesi babirusa, a species from the pig family endemic to Indonesia. Babirusas are notable for the long upper canines in the males, that emerge vertically from the alveolar process, penetrating though the skin and curving backward over the front of the face and towards the forehead.

Reason: High quality image with high encyclopaedic value, making the viewer want to know more.

Support Useful image of this "jungle pig", though the lighting is uneven (seems lighter on the top than on the bottom), — Crisco 1492 (talk) 05:09, 31 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support It is a "jungle light". seriously if I were to do it again, I use my flash. But that day I wanted to do with natural light, and it is not well distributed.(Merci à ELEKHH^T pour cette nomination) --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 18:27, 31 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I actually think the lighting is quite good, the warm light perhaps even making the image more attractive than flat uniform light. --ELEKHH^T 07:00, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support I agree with Elekh that the lighting is not so poorly distributed that it detracts from the quality of the photograph, and in fact increases the attractiveness. Tastefully done. Jujutacular (talk) 05:58, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
