Warthog

Best known as the Pumbaa in the movie Lion King, warthogs are quite cute in person. They are pig like animal with extended snout and tusks. They weigh up to 150kg, and they live on grass and roots of bulbs. They have very little body fat, and their skin doesn't shield them from cold days/ They love to have mud baths to protect them from insect bites.

We had multiple sightings of these funny looking creatures.
