Warthogs (Phacochoerus africanus aeliani, the Eritrean subspecies) belong to the pig family Suidae.

They live in the open savannas, acacia woodlands, and scrubby grasslands of western and lowland Eritrea (including Gash-Barka), usually near water sources.

Their main natural predators are lions, leopards, hyenas, crocodiles, and wild dogs. Eritrea Wildlife
