Located across from Antelope Valley and next to our Savannah, their new grassy patch of land features a boma (an African word for house or shelter), a water-filled wallow perfect for providing a protective mud coat for their skin, plus a warthog all-you-can-eat log pile buffet stuffed with tasty treats. Born omnivores, wild warthogs use their snouts and extra-long teeth to dig out and devour roots, mushrooms, and insects, so Pig Newton, Njeri, and Lucy will be sniffing out squash, zucchini and more, hidden in the log pile by their Safari West caregivers.<\/p>\n<p>We invite you to come to celebrate their new digs. Our warthogs each have their own distinctive personality and enjoy everything from rambunctious play to wallowing in their wallow to just lounging idly. They are a delight to spend time with \u2013 come and see for yourself!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lwZZEHumm3M?controls=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"425\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to Our Warthog Housewarming!
