Warthog
Phacochoerus africanus
The tail stands up when they run — a follow-me flag for piglets.
Grass, roots, and leftovers. They kneel on padded wrists to graze.

Baboons keep a lookout while others forage. Safety is a job.
Fruit, grass, insects, and the occasional small animal. Flexible and fearless at picnic tables.
