Babirusa[1] or babirusa (Babyrousa) is a genus of animals belonging to relatives of wild pigs, long fangs sticking out and curved above their muzzles, living in groups around swamps and bushes, looking for food at night, during the day During the day it sleeps, its diet consists of tubers, roots, ground animals, fruits, and fallen coconuts.[1] Hogs habitate are found in the tropical rain forests. These animals like to eat fruits and plants, such as mangoes, mushrooms and leaves. They only hunt for food at night to avoid some wild animals that often attack.

Yaki or Wolai monkeys or Sulawesi black monkeys (Macaca nigra) are endemic animals to Indonesia which are only found in the northern part of Sulawesi Island and several surrounding islands. Yaki is the largest type of macaque monkey on the island of Sulawesi.The distinctive features of the yaki are the color of its entire body which is black and has tuft-shaped hair on its head, and has a pink rump.

There are two types of them, namely lowland anoa and mountain anoa. The difference between the two types lies in the size of the horns and body.

The size of mountain anoa can reach up to 180cm with a weight less than 150kg. While the lowland anoa has a body length of up to 180cm and a weight of up to 200kg. The lowland anoa has less hair than the mountain type.

The anoa is the smallest of the wild cattle species. When anoa are born, they have a set of thick, woolly fur that comes in many color variations ranging from yellow to brown. In adults, the fur is typically brown or black and males tend to have darker variations. Hair thickness varies slightly between the two species based on elevation and distribution. In both species of anoa, horns are present on both males and females and are typically straight protuberances. Another defining characteristic of the anoa is an extremely thick hide underneath the thick fur.

Please write down 3 characteristics of this animal?
- Bear cuscus (Ailurops ursinus) which is vulnerable in the IUCN Redlist, is one of the endemic protected animal that lives in the lowland forests of Sulawesi. This research aimed to identify habitat characteristics, diet, and daily activities of bear cuscus in Tanjung Peropa Wildlife Reserve, Southeast Sulawesi. This research was carried out from February to March 2017. Habitat characteristics were identified using vegetation analysis, diet were identified using direct and non-direct observation, and daily activities were identified using ad-libitum sampling. The highest important value index of tree at the Mobula path and Mata Air path were Pisonia umbellifera (28.33 %) and Chisocheton ceramicus (44.72 %), respectively. The vegetation species diversity was high and the vegetation species evenness was distributed. A total of 80 species of plants were recorded which are the potential diet of bear cuscus. The highest percentage parts of plants that bear cuscus consumed were shoot (36.19 %) and young leaves (36.19 %). Bear cuscus daily activities were resting (89.05 %), moving (5.83 %), foraging (2.71 %), and feeding (2.41%). Bear cuscus preferred the C stratum of vegetation for their daily activities.

Tarsius is small with very large eyes, each eyeball is about 16 mm in diameter and the overall size is as big as its brain

The hind legs are also very long.

The length of the head and body is 10 to 15 cm, but the hind legs are almost twice the length of the body and head
