The Warthog from Schleich® WILD LIFE has strange looking warts and curved tusks that are up to 30 cm long.
The
Warthog from Schleich® WILD LIFE is a mammal that lives in Africa and
primarily eats roots, tubers and berries. It has wart-shaped growths
under the eyes and above the nose. They aren’t actually warts but rather
particularly thick skin that protects the animal from serious injury
during fights. The tusks are used to defend against lions, hyenas,
leopards and wild dogs.
Fun Fact
To dig, however, warthogs do not use their tasks, instead using their snout and hoofs.
