I like dirt and you wonder why It is true, and I can&#039;t deny.<br />

The only clean thing on me must be my eyes. I can&#039;t get dirt in, my eyes close on reflex. Working on that, snort. <br />

    1. Despite the blur, I do like it so thanks for sharing. In South Africa it was funny how they are grey in the north and orange in the south. I thought they must be seperate species, but the only difference was the color of the sand they roll in :) Posted 13 years ago

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.
