About the Item
Their name comes from their ‘warts’ or protrusions on the sides of their face, these protrusions are a combination of bone and cartilage. It protects their face when they fight.
They sleep underground at night in burrows that they steal from other animals such as aardvark. They don’t dig their own.
Female warthogs let their babies go into their burrows first, then they back into the burrow so that if anything comes into the burrow as a threat she can run out and protect them. This bronze warthog is cast using the traditional "lost wax" technique.
