informatie warthog The warthog's large tusks are unusual: The two upper ones emerge from the sides of the snout to form a semicircle; the lower tusks at the base of the uppers are worn to a sharp cutting edge. The warthog is mainly a grazer and has adapted an interesting practice of kneeling on its calloused, hairy, padded knees to eat short grass. Warthogs protect themselves from predators by fleeing or sliding backwards into a hole, thus being in a position to use their formidable tusks in an attack. outtoafrica.nl /animals/warthog.html?zenden=2&subsoort_id=1&...   (663 words)

the Living Africa: wildlife - other herbivores - warthog The warthog is generally found in the savanna and has adapted well to living in that climate.

Warthogs Two facial glands of the warthog, the sebaceous gland, which is the tusk gland located in the upper lid behind the tusks, and the preorbital gland are found to be important to warthogs' daily lives. Warthogs are facultative, meaning they display a wide range of breeding strategies and their social organization is based on matriarchal groups. Warthogs and other ungulates in Africa are influenced by both predation and interspecific competition; therefore, they may be showing a mixed evolutionarily stable strategy in order to cope with the two opposing pressures. www.bio.davidson.edu /people/vecase/Behavior/Spring2004/byington/byington.html   (4262 words)

Prariedog. The Animal In You Warthogs are those seemingly self-assured individuals who are never at a loss for words. A conversation with a warthog can be akin to banging one's head against a termite-mound -- especially when, after pouring your heart out, you find that it hadn't heard a word you said. The warthog would be well served to influence others with respect and love, and not just by manipulation. www.animalinyou.com /Warthog.htm   (407 words)

Warthog - halowiki.net The Warthog comes in two different types, one with a Light Anti Aircraft Gun (LAAG for short), very similar to the human turret, and another with a Gauss cannon (usually called the Gauss Warthog).

Although these types of games are uncommon, if you play Oddball on a map with Warthogs you can have the ball carrier sit in the objective seat while the driver avoids attackers and the gunner shoots at people who persue. h2wiki.halowiki.net /wiki/Warthog   (2114 words)

Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens: Warthog Warthogs typically forage in family “parties.” Contrary to popular belief, warthogs rarely, if ever, use their tusks to dig out food. The Savanna tsetse fly is particularly partial to Warthogs, and the elimination of Warthogs and Bushpigs has played an important role in controlling ngana, which covers an area of Africa equivalent in size to the United States. This is a symbiotic relationship – the bird has a constant food source and the warthog remains free of external parasites. www.jaxzoo.org /things/biofacts/Warthog.asp   (621 words)

Warthog Sharp The "Warthog Blade Sharpening System" works on the "clamp and guide" principle, wherein a clamp is attached to the back of the blade. The clamp is then attached to a guide, which in turn is inserted into a rotating ball joint attached to a rod, that, in turn is attached to the base of the system. The "Warthog Blade Sharpening System" is a very effective, practical, portable, blade-sharpening device with features such as the scissors, chisel, lane blade and serrated edge sharpening factors. www.warthogsharp.com /news_detail.php?NewsArticleID=6   (630 words)

Warthog Whether warthogs live in areas uninhabited by aardvarks is an open question. With molar teeth and jaw hinge modified for grinding grass, warthogs graze when grass is green and use their hard-edged snout disk to uncover rhizomes of grasses and sedges, tubers, and bulbs in dry season; also eat some fallen fruits. Although burrows keep warthogs safe at night, emerging in the morning can be risky since lions are clever enough to sniff out occupied burrows and patient enough to wait in ambush at breakfast time. sailfish.exis.net /~spook/warttxt.html   (1010 words)

Oakland Zoo: Warthog   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) The warthog moves on the wrists while searching for food; wide calluses have developed on the wrists as an adaptation to this type of locomotion. Although they must lower their heads while grazing they are able to see over a much larger area since their eyes are higher and further back in the head than in any other species of pig. When fighting other warthogs, they rarely use their canines, but rather push with their broad noses and foreheads, and so do not necessarily harm each other. www.oaklandzoo.org /atoz/azwarthog.html   (719 words)

To War in a Warthog--August 1993 For instance, the Warthog force was used only sparingly in the CAS role but proved more versatile and better able to survive over enemy territory than many expected. The pilot eased on power to edge the Warthog out of its revetment, but, as he pushed the rudder pedal to turn the plane, it continued straight ahead. As malfunctions go, this was minor, and he was able to steer the plane using differential application of the brakes, but it was a problem that he could have done without at that moment. www.afa.org /magazine/perspectives/desert_storm/0893warhog.html   (2865 words)

Warthog, and other ideas - Xbox 360 & Xbox Forums For all I know Warthog has been farmed out to other dev teams, and has been doing kick arse development on totally leading edge titles...however, this list doesn't show it. Hey, I finally found the Warthog site, and discovered that the list of games since 2000 is missing a few recent key titles, namely Wolverine, Battlestar Galactica and Mace Griffin Bounty Hunter. I'm all for giving people a shot to do their best work, but I'd love to hear what Warthog's take is on why some of their recent titles haven't garnered great reviews and whey Diamond Dead is going to buck the trend. forum.teamxbox.com /showthread.php?t=247496   (1023 words)

BEAUTY OR THE BEAST?: The A-10 Warthog Now, not only has the "Hog" received a significant upgrade -- to the tune of $300 million -- but it is considered one of the most effective fighters on the Iraqi campaign. Also, a new grip and throttle, which incorporate a number of buttons and switches to control various functions, will allow Warthog pilots to command most of the aircraft's functions without taking their hands off the throttle and stick. And the Warthog has gone on to be one of the most effective fighters on the Iraqi campaign. www.military.com /soldiertech/0,14632,Soldiertech_Warthog,,00.html   (982 words)
