Wildlife Safari Tours

1] Warthogs feed mainly on short grass, but have an unfortunately short neck, so to get to the grass the animal has to kneel - for which purpose they have knee pads.
2] Baboons are extremely sociable and move in troops of 20-700, divided into harem squads controlled by a dominant male.
3] The young enter the family tunnel or den in the usual way, but the last warty adult stuffs himself in backwards so any intruder is faced with a very ugly set of tusks.
