Celebes is now called Sulawesi (a name whose pronunication we can all feel more confident of getting right, I suspect). Babyroussa is a variant spelling of babirusa, which comes from the Indonesian/Malay babirusa, which in turn comes from babi (pig) and rusa (deer).

For a picture of this remarkable looking animal see http://www.royle.abel.co.uk/slwap/animals/babirusa.htm , which claims that the babirusa's insides resemble those of another mammal dear to the heart of one of our members.
