The bush pig, a wild pig native to sub-Saharan Africa, with a stocky body, short legs, and reddish-brown coloring.
From Afrikaans 'bosch' (bush) and 'vark' (pig), literally 'bush pig.' The compound word reflects Dutch and Afrikaans naming of southern African fauna.
Bush pigs are surprisingly fierce—despite being smaller than many wild pigs, they're incredibly aggressive and have been known to stand their ground against much larger predators!
