What are Warthogs?
Rachael Wosemer
Jul. 15, 2006
They are these little animals that look like pigs…
Warthogs are generally peaceful, but sometimes a male may attack another male during mating season. The snarling attacker, with his mane and tail erect, charges into his opponent’s lowered head. The fleshy, wartlike bumps that cover male warthogs’ heads may cushion the blows…
Warthogs sometimes mark their sounder territories by spraying urine and by wiping saliva from their mouths against objects.
Piglets begin to search for food with their mother when they are a few weeks old. They stop nursing at about four months old.
Unlike many other wild pigs, warthogs feed during the day and sleep in the abandoned burrows of aardvarks and other animals at night.
Many scientists believe there are two species of warthog. Their scientific names are Phacochoerus aethiopicus and Phacochoerus africanus.
