The young ones at least, I think fall into the category of ugly and cute at the same time. These were interesting creatures. I like the way the mother is standing in a protective pose in between where we were in the jeep and her babies.

South Africa – Warthogs

Today’s animal is one of those creatures that could be considered cute and ugly at the same time. The bumpy, tusked faces certainly aren’t attractive, but you can’t deny the little ones are cute. There weren’t many of these guys that would let us get very close. However the one mom with her two little ones gave us a stand-off for a while. She wasn’t going to let anything come to close to her babies.
