The warthog (Phacochoerus africanus) is a wild member of the pig family found throughout sub-Saharan Africa. Its name comes from the wart-like growths on its face—protective pads used in fighting and defense. Known for their speed, endurance, and fierce spirit, warthogs have become an iconic plains species and a popular target for bowhunters seeking an authentic African challenge.
