Recognizable by its curved tusks and unique appearance, the warthog is a vital inhabitant of the African savannah. This cousin of the wild boar is distinguished by its massive head, bony growths called "moles," and bristling mane.
An opportunistic herbivore, it feeds mainly on grasses, roots, and fruit, but does not hesitate to dig the ground with its powerful snout to find its food. Surprisingly, when running away from a predator, the warthog raises its long tail like an antenna, allowing other members of the group to follow it easily. It also spends much of the day in burrows to protect itself from heat and danger.
This Papo figurine realistically reproduces the warthog: impressive tusks, textured fur, and dynamic posture. An ideal model to enrich a collection of wild animals, invent stories in the heart of the savannah, or educate children about the diversity of African wildlife.
