Whiteboard Challenges
1) Warthogs have tusks (like elephants) that protrude from their upper and lower jaws, which they use to fight and defend themselves from predators.
2) Although warthogs have litters of two to four piglets, their mortality rate is quite high due to the many predators that roam the African plains.
