The WILD LIFE warthog from Schleich® has distinctive growths on its head and curved tusks that can be up to 30 cm long.
The Schleich® WILD LIFE warthog is a mammal that lives in Africa and feeds mainly on roots, bulbs and berries. Under the eyes and above the nose, it has calloused growths. This is in fact a particularly thick skin. It protects the animal in the event of a fight and prevents it from serious injuries. The warthog uses its tusks to stand up to lions, hyenas, leopards and jackals.
