Common Warthog

The common warthog ( Phacochoerus africanus ) is a wild member of the pig family (Suidae) found in grassland, savanna, and woodland in sub-Saharan Africa. In the past, it was commonly treated as a subspecies of P. aethiopicus , but today that scientific name is restricted to the desert warthog of northern Kenya, Somalia, and eastern Ethiopia.
