Episode 145: Warthog Wonders

Episode 145: Warthog Wonders

As promised, this week we follow up Meerkats with our Warthog episode. Warthogs became even more loved after their appearance in Disney's Lion King movies. Timon the Meerkat was best friends with Pumbaa the Warthog. Warthogs are one tough species. Living in Africa, they have evolved to survive in some of the harshest environments for any animal.
