Warthog
-Neither graceful nor beautiful, warthogs are nonetheless remarkable
animals. They are found in most of Africa south of the Sahara and
are widely distributed in East Africa. They are the only pigs able
to live in areas without water for several months of the year. By
tolerating a higher-than-normal body temperature, the warthog is
perhaps able to conserve moisture inside its body that might
otherwise be used for cooling. (Camels and desert gazelles have
developed a similar mechanism for survival in hot, arid
environments.)
The warthog is a tough, sturdy animal. Males weigh 20 to 50 pounds
more than females, but both are distinguished by disproportionately
large heads and “warts”—thick protective pads that appear on both
sides of the head. The warthog's large tusks are unusual: The two
upper ones emerge from the sides of the snout to form a semicircle;
the lower tusks at the base of the uppers are worn to a sharp
cutting edge. Sparse bristles cover the warthog's body, although
longer bristles form a mane from the top of the head down the spine
to the middle of the back. The long tail ends with a tuft of
bristles. The warthog characteristically carries its tail upright
when it runs, the tuft waving like a tiny flag.
