The giant forest hog is a large pig that lives in African forests. It eats grasses and other plants, and uses its tusks to dig for roots.
Its bristly coat is slate gray. It has a broad head, pointed ears and small tusks that flare outward.
It is often found in dense forest near permanent water. It grazes on grasses and sedges and can dig for roots and minerals with its tusks.
