Scientists found that a total of six species-giraffes, hartebeest, impala, warthogs, topis and waterbuck- have "decreased substantially" in only 15 years as they compete for survival with a growing concentration of human settlements in the region.
The Warthogs are the approximate size of 3 feet to 5 feet in overall body length and have the average weight of a little over a 100 pounds to slightly beyond 300 pounds.
As the shadows began to lengthen, a warthog advanced toward the waterhole in the curious stop-and-go approach that typifies warthogs.
