Warthog

(Phacochoerus aethiopicus – Pallas, 1776)

The Warthog derives its name from the wart-like bumps on its face. Unlike most other members of the pig family, Warthogs have unusually large tusks. Typically, the Warthog runs with its tail held in an upright position, which resembles a tiny flag; this, some say, may be an indicator used by its piglets to follow when running through long grass.

Average shoulder height is 76 cm (30”) and average weight is 90 kg (198 lbs).
SCI minimum score: 29"
