Warthog

[Warthog at Sweetwaters] What can you say about warthogs? They are bristly pigs with tusks. Big tusks. Long tusks. They can also run up to 34 miles per hour. And when they do run their tails go up in the air like little flags!

We saw warthogs in most, if not all, of the parks. Another interesting feature is that their necks are not long enough and they graze on their knees. They look a little strange walking along on their front knees with their back legs straight, grazing on the grass.
