Common warthog

The common warthog is a wild pig with a face only a mother could love, sporting curved tusks and warty bumps. It roams the open grasslands and woodlands across sub-Saharan Africa. Despite its rugged appearance, it’s a fast runner and clever survivor.

• Uses its sharp tusks for digging up roots and defending against predators.
• Once considered the same species as the desert warthog, but now recognized as separate.
• Thrives in savannas, where it can sprint away from danger at surprising speeds.
