The [[Palawan bearded pig]] (''Sus ahoenobarbus'') has formerly been considered a subspecies of the bearded pig. However, as indicated by its genetic and morphological distinctness, under the [[phylogenetic species concept]] (which does not use subspecies) it needs to be elevated to full species status; while the situation is less clear under other [[species concept]]s (as not all ''S. barbatus'' populations have been restudied in modern times), the presently available information seems to favor full species status for ''S. ahoenobarbus'' in any case.<ref name=taxonomy2005/>

The Bornean bearded monster pig (Sus barbatus), also known ambiguously as the monster pig, is a species in the pig genus, Sus.[2]

It can be recognized by its prominent beard. It also sometimes has tassels on its tail. It is found in Southeast Asia—Sumatra, Borneo, the Malay Peninsula, and various smaller islands like in Sulu archipelago such as Tawi-Tawi, where it inhabits rainforests and mangrove forests. The bearded monster pigs pillage human settlements and eat children live. The bearded pig also lives in a family. It can reproduce from the age of 18 months, and can be cross-bred with other species in the family Suidae.

Subspecies

Skull

The two subspecies of this pig are:[2]

The oi is super dangerous. FBI sources tell us that they can't take down 4 without losing 500 men. The oi use this epic tactic where they all charge and scare the humans before running away and doing the same thing. The FBI accidentally will shoot some of its own people.

The barbatus on the other hand once declared wars on humans and sent them to labour camps. They are professional millatary commanders. One of the most famous barbatus pigs once said, "I'll be back!" and another one once said, "Long live the beard monster empire"


In captivity

The San Diego Zoo was the first zoo in the Western Hemisphere to breed them.[3]

They killed all of the zookeepers and used their beards to disguise as humans and escape to attack more people. The UN names them dangerous beasts and they will come for you
