RE: Phacochoerus africanus: Warthog – Vlakvark (Afrikaans)
Cute beasts that in a way resemble boars. I was surprised that they are that curious and not ferocious at all. Those tusks certainly look dangerous to me. And the most surprising part... why do they kneel when eating? Strange turn in evolution... as in an event of a predator attack it takes extra time to stand up and start running no matter how fast they can do it.
Thank you bescouted. They kneel to graze because their necks are very short.
I get the reason kind of, but i do not get the part why evolution made their necks so short. There has to be a good reason for that :) In nature things do not happen just because :)
