Warthogs - 7013b+

Next in my series of twos - two Pumbas. I know they are so ugly, but I find them so interesting. They can run faster than you might think, up to 30 mph. When they run their tails stick straight up, so in Kenya, they are sometimes called "Kenya Express". They have short-term memories which is how a lot of them get killed. They might be running from a predator and then forget why they are running and stop. They back into their dens so they can protect their den with their tusks and run out head first if in danger.

Happy Safari Sunday...
