Warthog Namibia
The Warthog - They are the only pigs able to live in areas without water for several months of the year. Males than females, but both are distinguished by disproportionately large heads and the warts-thick protective-pads that appear on both sides of the head. Two large pairs of warts occur below the eyes, and between the eyes and the tusks, and a very small pair is found near the jaw (usually just in males). Sparse bristles cover the warthog's body, although longer bristles form a mane from the top of the head down the spine to the middle of the back. The skin is gray or black (or yellowish or reddish, if the warthog has been wallowing in mud). The long tail ends with a tuft of bristles. The warthog characteristically carries its tail upright when it runs, the tuft waving like a tiny flag. Warthog use their tusks to dig for grass rhizomes and roots, and if the ground is hard and stony.Warthogs are considered very ugly. They grow up to 1.5 metres long and.
weigh up to 100kg.
