Warthogs - (Amazing Animals) by Ashley Gish (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Explore the world of warthogs, the wild pigs native to sub-Saharan Africa. This zoology title, filled with beautiful photos and factual life science text, describes these mammals' physical characteristics--wart-like bumps, coarse hair, and large tusks used for digging and fighting. The text covers warthogs' habitat, diet, and social behaviors, including their role in the ecosystem and interactions with predators, and explains their reproductive habits and life cycle. The book includes a cultural story about how the warthog got its lumps. Part of Creative Education's popular Amazing Animals series, the book supports elementary-aged readers with captions, on-page definitions, additional resources, and an index.
