Pumba! (Warthogs!) (Lewa Downs, Kenya)

Warthogs are extremely shy -- making them very difficult to photograph! They are usually in families, or groupings called sounders. I can say that even though warthogs are not particularly attractive, they were the star of everyone's safari. I think this is because when they are frightened, they stick their tails straight into the air and run away. Its a bit difficult to describe, but it has earned them the nickname of the "Kenyan Express"! No matter how many times we saw them do it, it was still the cutest thing every time!
