Mainly nocturnal, the bushpig is a gregarious but tough, no nonsense animal. It lives in large sounders of up to 10 or more individuals. It is a dangerous adversary with extremely sharp tusks and should be given a wide berth. The tails is held down when running as opposed to the warthog, which holds its tail vertically.
