warthogs

Warthogs are wild pigs native to Africa, recognized for their distinctive facial "warts" and large tusks. They have a sturdy build, short legs, and a mane of coarse hair along their back. They typically live in savannas and grasslands, where they forage for grasses, roots, and small animals. Warthogs are social animals, often found in groups called sounders, primarily composed of females and their young. They are known for their adaptability, use of burrows for shelter, and surprising agility for their stocky size. Their unique appearance and behaviors make them a notable part of the African wilderness.
