Warthog |
|
Male and female are alike, grey in colour. Heavy headed, its face deformed by large fleshy lumps ("warts"), with great curved tusks, a coarse bristly mane, thin legs, and an absurdly thin, brush-tipped tail. It is pig-like in habit, snuffling about on its knees after bulbs, roots, young shoots and grass. It is fond of wallowing in a good mud bath. Though not aggressive, it will fight savagely when cornered, and do great damage with its tusks. The warthog takes little notice of other creatures of the veld. It is the least nervous of our animals. A party approaches a waterhole at full gallop without hesitation. When disturbed, they go off at a trot again, with heads lifted and tails standing stiffly erect over their backs. |
