Description: If you are a fan of Pumbaa from The Lion King, Warthog from TingaTinga Tales, and the warthog from Bedknobs and Broomsticks, then you know Pumbaa was a warthog. They have the longest legs of all pigs, so that means that they are the only pigs that can kneel within their knees from their hands, like that of bigger ungulates, like cows and horses. Although they are native to Africa, warthogs lived in the deserts and savannas to survive sometimes without water to drink, and they have predators, like humans as poachers and hunters, lions, spotted hyenas, crocodiles, leopards, cheetahs, wild dogs, and birds-of-prey that can prey upon the warthogs. Their tusks from both sexes are much like that of ivory, which poachers hunted them for their ivory. Ivory might be an illegal resource from the tusks of pigs and elephants. There's the differences, between Common and Ingitiszoan warthogs. In common warthogs, that they have shorter legs, and less horned than the Ingitiszoan counterpart. While the Ingitiszoan warthog, had a lot of horns, including the Ankylosaurus-like horns under and over their eyes, triangular horns on their snouts and chin, and longest horns on top of their heads between their ears is similar to a gazelle, and their bodies are more mule-like.
