An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

It is descended from the giant forest hogs that were once common in this environment. In the turmi the tusks of the upper jaw are projected forwards, elongating the snout still further, and have turned outwards to produce strong pick-like instruments with which it digs into termite mounds. The lower jaw has lost all its teeth and musculature and the mouth has diminished to a tiny hole through which sticks out its ribbon-like tongue to gather termites.
