The warthog is a wild pig species found in Africa, recognizable by its distinctive appearance. It has a stocky build, with large tusks and warty protrusions on its face. The warthog's body is covered in coarse bristly hair, and it has a mane of longer hair along its back. This resilient animal is well-adapted to its environment, using its strong snout to dig for food and creating burrows for shelter. Despite its tough exterior, warthogs are social creatures that often gather in small groups called sounders.
