WARTHOG
The warthog is best known for its four sharp tusks and padded bumps, or warts on its face. The females of the species are social and live out their lives in family groups called sounders. They may look vicious but these animals prefer to run from predators rather than fight and are not aggressive unless backed into a corner.The warthog is dark brown in colour and mostly bald, they do have a thick mane that runs from their head to the middle of their back and tiny tufted tails that stand straight up in the air when they run. Warthogs are omnivores that eat grass and tubers. They are native to the syb-Saharan region of Africa, They prefer to live in cooler, open areas like savannahs, avoiding severe deserts and rainforests.
Most of the warthog’s population is found in southwestern Ethiopia and southern Sudan. Their population is stable, but they are not found across the entirety of Africa as some wide-ranging species are. They are absent from heavily forested areas, and South Africa.

These are the views of the independent Good Toy Guide experts on the play value of our animals:
“These wooden collectible animal figures are fantastic for open-ended and imaginative play, which is the superfood of a healthy play diet. This is because it provides so many opportunities for children to build social skills, make sense of the world around them and develop language. As they play together and form a story, children have to negotiate roles, listen to others, use creativity and practice speech to communicate what is happening.
The animals also feature beautiful detailing including ridges and curves which makes them very tactile and calming to touch. They proved very sturdy too, standing up to vigorous and messy play. It would be lovely to build up a collection of the figures over time to play with, that could then be handed down between family or friends.”
