Famous for the large warts on their face (very prominent on males), the warthog is one of the smallest species of pig, length 3 to 4.9 feet, height 30 inches at the shoulder, weight 110 to 330 pounds. Their heads, however, are proportionately much larger than other pigs, 1/6 of length of their body. Warthogs are gray to brown in color with stiff bristles sparsely scattered over their bodies. Down the center of their back is a long mane of hair. They have a tuft of bristles on the end of their long tail that is ideal for flicking away flies, but can be held straight up when alarmed. Their legs are longer than most pigs enabling them to run up to 30 miles per hour, yet they have to kneel to graze. Warthogs have 2 sets of tusks. A long, curved set grows from their upper jaw and a small razor-sharp set grows from their lower jaw. Acute hearing and a good sense of smell help to offset the warthog's poor eyesite. There are actually two species of warthog, the common warthog and the desert warthog. Like camels and desert gazelles, they can live in areas without water for serveral months, the only pigs able to do so.

Our toy warthog has been captured in a classic pose. It is has good detail (its two sets of warts and tusks are plainly visible) and would make a fine addition to any collection. This sturdy, durable creature is also excellent for use in school projects, dioramas, or even as a children's toy. (Not suitable for children under 3 years of age.) The word "WARTHOG" is embossed on it's stomach.
