Warthog and Glossy Starling - Hitching a Ride

A Glossy Starling hitches a ride on a female Warthog. The female Warthog's "warts" under the eyes are much smaller than the male's. At a quick glance, one can easily determine the sex by just looking at the "warts" under the eyes.

The Common warthog

The warthog or common warthog is a wild member of the pig family found in grassland, savanna, and woodland in sub-Saharan Africa. In the past, it was commonly treated as a subspecies of ''P. aethiopicus'', but today that scientific name is restricted to the desert warthog of northern Kenya, Somalia, and eastern Ethiopia.
