Baby Warthog

On New Year's Day,we aquired a new member of the family....Jess brought home a orphaned baby warthog from a friend's game farm...




The day of his arrival....





Minki takes him under her vigilant care...





Why do you want me to eat grass??

I want my bottle!





Do we all have to go down on our knees when we eat now???





"I may be small but I can keep four guineas at bay!!!"

The guineas inspect every strange, new animal on the farm....






Yeah,yeah...like that!!

I won't let them stalk me from behind!







"'Come on,give it your best shot!"








In just a week,he went from completely wild to completely in love with Jess!






This pic was taken today...after five days he is completely at home ....


The End

  6. He's so ugly that he's cute! How well will he fit in with the other animals, or do you intend to reintroduce him to the wild?

  8. Hi Liesl...that is the cutest little fellow I have seen in a long time. How sweet that he's fallen in love with your daughter! What a special life you live over there in Africa and what a wonderful way for your children to grow up. I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
