| Video Discription | 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. The common warthog is a medium-sized species, with a head-and-body length ranging from 0.9 to 1.5 metres, and shoulder height from 63.5 to 85 cm. Females, at 45 to 75 kilograms, are typically slightly smaller and lighter in weight than males, at 60 to 150 kg. A warthog is identifiable by the two pairs of tusks protruding from the mouth and curving upwards. The lower pair, which is far shorter than the upper pair, becomes razor-sharp by rubbing against the upper pair every time the mouth is opened and closed. The upper canine teeth can grow to 25.5 cm (10 in) long and have a wide elliptical cross section, being about 4.5 cm (1 3⁄4 in) deep and 2.5 cm (1 in) wide. A tusk will curve 90° or more from the root, and will not lie flat on a table, as it curves somewhat backwards as it grows. The tusks are not used for digging, but are used for combat with other hogs, and in defense against predators – the lower set can inflict severe wounds. ======================================= 00:00 Common Warthog 00:22 Description 02:00 Ecology ======================================= Follow me on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/animalsdescriptions/?hl=bg Subscribe on: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZ9vV7DHdXCj95dvYhGRbRg?sub_confirmation=1 ======================================= This presentation contains images that were used under a Creative Commons License.
