Comments: This little piggy likes dirt! Unfortunately, the love of dirt makes
the warthog unsuitable for inclusion in big, reproduction-happy mixed African
savannah exhibits. In spite of its terrain preferences, the warthog is a clean
animal with a restrained appetite; it’s healthy, adapts well to captivity, and has
an average inclination to reproduce during its average life span. However, it’s
very sensitive to crowds and should be placed in exhibits that allow it to hide
from sight.
Adopting warthogs has one big advantage: Building an exhibit for these
animals is fairly cheap. However, they’ll never be one of your zoo’s big attractions.
They do not play a significant role in any of the set scenarios.
