While we were still visiting Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park recently I shared a sneaky photo I took of Joubert busy photographing a pair of playful warthog piglets in Mpila Camp. Now that we’re back home I can share a few more of the photos he took of their playful antics. They also tried involving a young nyala ram in their games, but he wasn’t interested in childish games.
These are all Joubert’s photos. He turned 9 in August.

I’m glad these little guys have each other; certainly they are not the most beautiful animals I’ve ever seen. India has the same type of pig (without the husks) and they are not pretty either. I am reminded of the stories in US history about the razorback hogs that roamed the ranges.

Once fully grown warthogs are really tough animals and not to be taken lightly – those tusks can split open a lion!

Absolutely true! Maybe that is why the playful side of them is so interesting.
