A wild pig native to Africa, with a stocky build, reddish-brown hair, and tusks.
Compound of 'bush' (wild, uncultivated land) and 'pig.' Named for its habitat, similar to how 'bushbaby' or 'bush elephant' name animals by location.
Bushpigs are surprisingly aggressive despite their cute name—they'll charge at predators (and humans) without hesitation, making them one of Africa's underestimated dangers for safari-goers.
