The Red River Hog

The Red River Hog (Potamochoerus porcus) also known as Bush Pig (but not to be confused with P. larvatus, common name "Bushpig"), is a wild member of the pig family that lives in the rainforests, mountains and brushes of Africa.

Adults weigh up to 200 lb and stand 0.6-0.75 m. The fur is brown, with black legs and black and white snout along the top, a white stripe goes end to end on the spine. They live in herds of 6-20 members, led by the strongest boar. Typically, 3-6 piglets are born at a time.

Red River Hogs eat grass, berries, roots, insects, mollusca, little vertebrates and carrion. They are capable of causing damage to plantations.

Nice job making a hog look good! I like the kind of symetrical look of his ears broken up by his white stripe .

I see what you were saying on the phone.. the lesser photographed River Hog gets his moment in the spotlight :)
