Downright little beauties, these hogs. Aside from that, those who aren’t exactly red (really sort of orange) might lean toward a gray color. The bony features on the face of a boar offer some protection during face-to-face combat with a potential rival for the affections of his lovely sow. The pointed ears with tufts of flowing hair at the tips add to the charm of these small pigs. As with many animals, scent glands are present in several areas. Those glands in their feet and lips leave scent marks as the pigs move through their habitat. 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 reddish-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.
