Warthogs

Description

Like their relatives warthogs are plump, hooved animals with large nostrils at the end of the snout. They don’t have much fur but is enough to keep them warm.

Diet

Warthogs would usually feed on grass stems, roots and seeds. They sometimes go on their knees while eating!

Young

Baby warthogs are actually just called piglets because they live in the pig family! Females can have 1-8 piglets but 3-4 are the most common.

Habitat

Warthogs live in grasslands, savannas and woodlands. They find a random hole and that is where they take shelter.
