Warthog
Warthogs (Phacochoerus africanus) as their scientific name suggests are members of the pig family, found naturally in Africa, south of the Sahara Desert. Males, like this "big boy" can weigh 130-330 pounds (60-150kg). I think this well-fed one must be in the high area of the weight range.
The female and young males in the very large exhibit area gave him a wide berth.
Seen at the Detroit Zoo, Michigan.
