-**A**n average-sized pig, native to Africa, that is classified as two species. These are the Common Warthog, found throughout Africa in a number of habitats, especially savannah and woodland, and the Desert Warthog, which prefers more dry habitats. The two are thought to have diverged some 3 million years ago, and the two appear rather similar in build and colouring. The original warthog may have appeared some 7 million years ago, from an ancestor it shared with the more obscure Giant Forest Hog.
