Know The Species
The Bushpig is a medium-sized wild pig found in Africa, primarily in forested areas and savannas. They are nocturnal and omnivorous, feeding on a variety of plant matter, insects, and small animals. Bushpigs are highly adaptable and are able to survive in a range of habitats, including agricultural areas and even suburban environments.
They have a distinctive appearance, with a stocky build, bristly coat, and prominent tusks.
Despite being a popular game animal for hunting, Bushpigs can be notoriously elusive and difficult to track. In African folklore and traditional medicine, Bushpigs are often associated with spiritual power and are believed to possess healing properties.
How To Aim From Different Angles
