Warthog Family

We stopped by this Warthog family which stayed close to the brambles but didn’t act at all concerned with us. The young are so vulnerable. So much depends upon luck. Had a large cat happened upon this family, there’s a good chance one or more of the small ones would not survive. Fortunately, like most wild pigs, they seem to be prolific. Adults are fast and often able to outrun a predator and thus have the opportunity to populate the species. (Phacochoerus africanus). (Sony a1, 200-600 lens @ 600mm, 1/1250 second, f/6.3, ISO 640)
