EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print showcases a young group of Common Warthogs (Phacochoerus africanus), also known as matabili golube, lying in the sun-soaked savannah southwest of the Bembesi River in Africa. The scene is captured in intricate detail, with the warthogs' distinctive features on full display - their tusks, warts, and mud-splattered coats. This image is part of a collection of original sketches by the renowned 19th-century explorer and artist, John Thomas Baines. Baines, an Englishman who explored Africa between 1820 and 1875, documented his expeditions through his art. This particular sketch, numbered 128, was created during his travels in the late 1800s. The warthogs appear to be resting peacefully in the daytime, a common behavior for these even-toed ungulates, which are part of the Artiodactyla order. The Common Warthog is a large, powerful mammal that roams the African continent. They are the largest species of hog and are known for their distinctive warts and tusks. Their coat is covered in coarse, bristly hairs, which help protect them from the sun and the thorns of the African savannah. This photograph print is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a window into the natural history of Africa during the 19th century. It serves as a reminder of the rich biodiversity of the African continent and the importance of preserving its unique wildlife for future generations.
