Warthog
Warthogs do not have warts per se. The growths on the side of their faces just below the eye level resemble warts. Tusks are used to dig for roots and can be used to defend themselves. There are a top set and a bottom set. The top ones are prominent and are curved. The bottom ones are razor sharp and will inflict serious damage if used in self defence. Warthogs also enter their burrows backwards. This is to facilitate a speedy exit and so they can see what is ahead of them. Male Warthogs can weigh up to 90Kg.They are predated on by all of the big cats as well as pythons.
