The Red River Hog (Potamochoerus porcus), also known as the Bush Pig (but not to be confused with P. larvatus, common name “bushpig”), is a wild member of the pig family living in Africa, with most of its distribution in the Guinean and Congolian forests. It is rarely seen away from rainforests, and generally prefers areas near rivers or swamps.

Red river hogs eat grasses, berries, roots, insects, molluscs, small vertebrates and carrion. They are capable of causing damage to plantations. Red river hogs typically live in herds of six to 20 members led by a dominant boar. Sows rear three to six piglets at a time. Source: Wikipedia encyclopedia.
