The African wild boar, also known as the bushpig, is a species of wild pig found in various habitats across sub-Saharan Africa. These large, sturdy creatures are known for their strong tusks and coarse, bristly hair.
They are primarily nocturnal, foraging for food such as roots, bulbs, and small mammals in the cover of darkness. Despite their name, they are not actually related to domestic pigs, but are a distinct species of their own. African wild boars play an important role in the ecosystem as both predators and prey, contributing to the balance of their natural habitat.
