Wart hogs- "Phacochoerus aerthiopicus" - a type of long-legged pig with  protective "warts" of connective  tissue on the face.  Mostly found in savanna especially woodland and grassland.    Warthogs tend to wallow in the mud to rid themselves of parasites.  Because of their long legs, warthogs can reach maximum speeds up to 55 km/h.   With their eyes in a high position,  they see predators from a long distance.    Predators include lions, cheetahs and leopards as well as hyenas and eagles.
