Who says I’m not a handsome guy? I’m a warthog. (IMG_5098)

The warthog is basically a pig found in the desert of Africa. It is named after the two sets of tusks that are used for fighting off unwanted predators and for digging in the dirt for grubs and insects. They prefer to occupy abandoned burrows built by other animals, rather than build their own. The warthog has very poor eye sight but has a good sense of smell which allows the warthog to hunt for food and to detect any nearing predators.
