These common wild pigs favor
open grounds, veils grassland, waterholes and pans
and they will also be
seen in open woodland. The maximum weight of the adult boar
rarely
exceeds 100kg. Their tusk varies in size and sometimes particularly
those of the
female. Continual horning of the upper tusks against the
bottom tusks keeps both sets
razor-sharp, which makes the warthog a
dangerous animal.Warthog do not depend on
water,
but drink copiously if it is available.
Mud wallowing is a
favorite
pass-time. The family sounder or group usually comprises
the male, the
female
and piglets. After some time the male deserts the group but the
bond between the female
and piglets last longer even up to three years.
Enemies are principally
lion and
leopard,
cheetah sometimes takes the young. The warthog
is adept at digging with
its hard shovel shaped snout, which is a most effective digging tool.
Its prime fare is the grasses and also the new grass sprouts after a
burn. Berries and
stripped off tree bark are also eaten.
