I think I am the prettiest animal in the world and my name is warthog.
Everyone says that I am ugly. I think I am very pretty and I have four big and beautiful warts on my face. My wife is very angry with me because she only has two warts. Hehehe, what can I say? Everyone insults me of my looks. I think they are just jealous. I don’t really care, just ignore them.
I am hungry the whole day and my favourite food is grass and tasty roots. I rip them out of the ground and eat them up very quickly. I don’t want others to eat them.
Many think I am a coward, but is not true. If a hyena or a cheetah attacks me, then he will see how good I can fight. I might be small, but my teeth are up to 37 cm long. When someone is chasing me, I am very fast – up to 46 km/h. My favourite hobby is to tease ants. I simply steal their little sleeping cave. I crawl backwards backwards into their whole, then I can see if there is anyone around me. There might be a lion or a someone else that wants to attack me. So I am always ready for trouble.
Oh, I almost forgot. My home is always near a water hole. Then I can role around in the mud. You can find me in the Mkuzi Game Reserve, Krüger National Park or the Umfolozi Game Reserve.
See you then, Your warthog
