Warthogs spend the night in caves which have been dug by porcupines or groundhogs.
They push themselves backwards into these caves to be prepared to notice and fight enemies. Warthogs are strong enough to fight hyenas or cheetahs, but cannot defeat a lion. Warthogs in the Kruger Park Warthogs belong to the boar family. In contrast to their European relatives with a fur growing all over, they only have spots of dense fur on the throat and on the back. They look proud, however, at least the males with their powerful tusks.
