They can live up to 20 years.

Their main predators are lions, pythons, leopards, hyenas and humans!

If startled, red river hog piglets will ‘possum’ or ‘play dead’, but as they get older they tend to just run away!

They are fast runners and aren’t afraid of water, in fact they are really good swimmers.

Red river hogs typically live in groups of six to 20 members, led by a dominant boar or male.
The sows or females have three to six piglets at a time.
