Comment
The warthog gets their name from the thick protective pads on their head that look like 'warts'. These pads on both sides of the head are to protect their face when they fight. Warthogs sleep in burrows that they steal from other animals, they do not dig their own holes. Warthogs are omnivorous, eating mostly grass, worms, and bulbs they dig for. They are known for their tusks that they use to fight or to defend themselves. These interesting animals roam the continent of Africa, making them a perfect addition to the Republic of Chad Mandala Wildlife series.Interesting fact
