''BEAUTIFULLY UGLY''Posted by: ranger in SBT - Daily Game Reports on Dez 12, 2011 Tagged in: Bushtops Daily Game Reports

Reporting Date: 11th December 2011
Many times on our game drives we come upon warthogs grazing in the open grasslands or on the edges of bushlands and many times people overlook them. But warthogs play a vital role in the wild as many predators rely on them for food source. Today, we came across a group of warthogs which the guests described as ''beautifully ugly'' because they thought that they looked so prehistoric and funny with their little tusks sticking out on both sides of their flat snouts.
