"OK Kids, this is how you cross the road: first you look to your left....
and then you just keep on walking, because the cars are guaranteed stop for
 photos, anyway!"
A number of Warthogs have a safe haven at the Memorial Gate of the Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Game Reserve
The next photo shows how they are not fazed by a man sitting on the bench -  they actually passed right in front of him. 

Lesson #2:   "THIS is how you pose for the camera"

Two Mothers and eight babies  - could they be called Wartlets? ;-)
The little ones followed the mothers randomly.
I have a sneaky suspicion that the younger female might be the daughter of the old girl with the longer tusks - perhaps she is helping her daughter, just like human Grannies do? 
Perhaps they both had a litter?   If so, I bet they can't tell which Wartlet IS whose?
If you click on the first photo, all four  photos will open in a slide show
I captured the grunting and squeaking on video and was brave enough to attempt my first upload to Youtube. You can see it by clicking on the link below:

  2. Oh wow! Reminds me of a time entering Kruger through one of the gates in the south. I love these and find the youngsters so adorable! Great shots :)
