These unsettling animal cubs might make us rethink the Creator's peculiar arrangements, but at the same time, in the vast African savanna, another animal with a fierce and arrogant appearance is preparing to give birth – the original of 'Peng Peng' who played the supporting role with Gold in 'The Lion King' – the warthog.
This strange-looking creature is named for the large warts that grow below its eyes, it is believed that these warts may help warthogs protect their eyes while digging for food, its body is thinner than domestic pigs, covered with sparse sparse fur, and it relies on rolling in the mud to protect its exposed skin, with four sharp teeth protruding from its mouth, giving off an intimidating and aloof demeanor.
But when these characteristics are placed on a baby warthog, they are quite amusing, the teeth have not yet grown out, but the warts are already visible, not only ugly but also lack of intimidation.
This may be why, although warthogs are a strong species with survival and reproduction capabilities, their survival rate is very low, predators include lions, leopards, crocodiles, hyenas, and even eagles will take baby warthogs as soon as they are born, however, warthog mothers will fight back at this time, sometimes even injuring the predators.
From January to March each year, rainfall in Kenya is a little more frequent than other months, although the torrential rain in the Masai Mara is chilling, it is worth visiting because at this time the water and grass are abundant, besides warthogs, many animals will choose to give birth at this time, it is the best time to watch African baby animals.
