Warthogs on the Grassland

1Warthogs are wild pigs that live on the grassy plains of Africa. They have gray skin, a long face, and a stiff mane of hair down their backs. Two pairs of curved tusks stick out from the sides of their mouths.

2Warthogs eat mostly grass. To reach the short grass, a warthog kneels down on its front knees. Thick pads of skin on its knees keep them safe while it eats. It also digs up roots with its snout.

3At night, warthogs sleep in holes in the ground. Often they use old holes that other animals dug. A warthog backs into its hole tail first. That way, its tusks face out toward the opening.

4When a warthog runs, it holds its thin tail straight up in the air. The tail looks like a little flag waving above the grass. This may help the young ones follow their mother through the tall grass.
