Warthogs are wild pigs native to Africa, known for their distinctive facial features including tusks, warts, and a mane running along their backs. They are herbivores and feed on a variety of plant materials, as well as insects. Warthogs live in family groups called sounders. They are capable of digging burrows for shelter and protection, and can reach speeds of up to 35 miles per hour when running. 

Despite their aggressive appearance, warthogs are generally non-confrontational and prefer to flee from danger. They are also highly adaptable and can thrive in a variety of habitats, including savannas, grasslands, and forests. Warthogs have a strong digging ability, which helps them forage for food and escape from predators such as lions and hyenas. Warthogs play an important role in their ecosystem, helping to maintain the balance of plant populations by foraging for food and spreading seeds. Warthogs are not considered an endangered species, but their populations are threatened by habitat loss and hunting.
