This week’s letter for Frizztext’s A-Z archive photo challenge is W. We saw this wonderful warthog in Botswana. At first he was shy and only poked his head out. Then he proudly stepped out and told us to scram. We did.

🙂 I would also scram, faced with that!
Yeah…I didn’t feel like messing with him.
Wow, that thing is pretty scary looking, actually.
I was surprised by how intimidating he looked in real life.
wow … cute and cuddly are not two words that come to mind right now.
I agree Stephen…I wasn’t getting positive vibes from him.
I definitely would have scrammed. Fast!
Trust me, we did!
It’s Pumba!!! Where was Timon? 🙂
No where to be found.

he is gorgeous
I really enjoyed seeing him. He scared me, but it was a wonderful experience.
What a fine looking fellow!
And he knows it.
ha, ha, that first picture made me laugh. It took me a minute to figure out what was going on there – it looks like a mud pie with horns. Then, bring on picture No.2, and… run away! Quickly!!!
Lynn 😀
At first I didn’t see him in the first picture, then the guides told us what they were seeing. When he popped out though I was ready to move along 🙂
So ugly looking, only a mother could love them! Still they are cute to watch
They are interesting animals.
I love warthogs the cutest ugly things ever!
Well put Gilly.
This warthog is UGLY. I would also have stayed around long enough to get his picture and then I would be out of there. What an adventure and good choice for challenge.
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
Thanks Francine. This creature didn’t make me feel all that welcome near his home. I got a kick out of seeing him though.
I think if Mr. Warthog asked me to jump, I’d be asking ‘how high?’. Great shots! You’re a lot braver, than I’d have been … unless of course you have a rather powerful zoom on your camera.
The camera does have zoom, but not as powerful as some of the cameras we saw in Africa. I noticed that the birders have these amazing cameras. Also, we were in a jeep so I felt a little safer.
surely king of his own “castle”
Yes…and don’t intrude or face the consequences.
Oh he’s magnificent! Brilliantly photographed. I’ve also done Warthog, http://craftcrazygran.wordpress.com/tag/a-z-archive-w/
Thanks…your poor little warthog. Makes me so sad and very angry.
Aw! I love the ones with the really bold eye liner 🙂 we saw one with really strong markings on our last trip. Before that they had all been much less prominently marked.
He was the best looking one that we saw. I have to admit though, I loved seeing all of them. Such interesting creatures.
you can easily see how their character inspired Disney’s Pumba 🙂 we saw one up in Murchison who was digging in the earth making a bit of a den – he looked crazy all covered in red dust in his hair and all over his face and back!
WOW! Makes me afraid… what a looking! Thank you dear TBM, love, nia
He does have an intimidating stare.
he he he… 🙂 Have a nice day dear TBM, love, nia
That is pretty scary! I agree, AndyWatchesMovies!
I’m with Andy as well. I wouldn’t want to mess with him.
He seems to be quite a character.
Yes! It would be interesting to see what his life is like and what he does on a regular basis.
Awww…..Pumba!! A face only a mother…or Timon…could love. Great shot!
Thanks…his mother must be proud!
Oh he’s all muddy and cute.
They are cute in their own way.
wonderful photos, glad he popped out in time!
maybe he could need a haircut or even a bath?
Ugly and being a tad protective.
Fierce-looking creatures! 🙂
