Warthogs seem to be popular today. Thanks for the fun fact and congrats on getting sotd with your warthog Smith.

Fun Warthog Fact: To escape predators, warthogs can run up to 30 miles per hour. Though they will fight if they have to. Adult warthogs back into their burrow, so that their tusks go in last.
