Distribution: Sudan, Ethiopia, Uganda, Kenya, Somalia, Tanzania, Congo, Zambia, Malawi, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Angola, Botswana and South Africa. Also on Madagascar and on Mayotte Island in the Comoros.
Description: There is a face mask with a contrasting pattern of blackish to dark brown and white to dark grey markings, or may sometimes be completely whitish. The ears have tassels of long hairs. Their very sharp tusks are fairly short and inconspicuous. Unlike warthogs, bushpigs run with their long and thin tails down.
