They are the only pigs able to live in areas without water for several months of the year. By tolerating a higher than normal body temperature, the warthog is able to conserve moisture inside its body that might otherwise be used for cooling. When water is available warthogs drink regularly and enjoy wallowing in muddy places.

One of the most ecologically friendly ways in which a human can traverse the bush is on horseback and the speed at which a horse walks is perfect for looking for tracks of both animals and man.
