Pictures of Warthog (Phacochoerus aethiopicus)

Warthog are named because of the large warts that they have on the face. Young animals and females without tusks have white whiskers on the jaw which look like tusks. The tail has a terminal tuft and is held vertical when running. When feeding the warthog goes down on its knees to graze. Its sight is poor but senses of smell and hearing are acute. Litters of 1-4 are reared in Aardvark burrows which are enlarged and lined with grass.
