Wonderful Warthogs

Pity the humble warthog. He is so ugly he is cute. Very shy, these animals hang around in  families and although fearsome looking when they are startled or if they think they may have a problem they run briskly away with their tales in the air. They are masters at disappearing in an instant! Understandably if you corner one it will fight, not what I would want to experience.
They love to wallow in the mud as some pictures show. They live in ground burrows.  When they are young, in lieu of tusks they have white hair that symbolizes tusks. Perhaps it is their protection for predators. I imagine these stocky pigs would be good eating!
Here are the sounds they make (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-AOZXJWv7bM)
One warthog that we saw at the Ngorongoro Crater which I may have posted before was white. I call him my White Wizard as he is clearly older and unique among all those that we saw. He was solo, perhaps because he was unusual or who knows.
