    Warthogs are like a new student at school,  they seem weird at first but once you get to know them they are cool.  Animals from the phylum animalia especial are very interesting because of their lifestyles. Warthogs are also like avocados crack them open their is more to them inside. 

    The warthog is known as a very strong animal .For example the warthog has a level back with long legs.  This shows that they can carry heavy things on their backs.  In addition  they weigh from 99-220 pounds .  This shows that the warthog has a good amount of strength.  In addition it has little  hair only on the mane and the tail the hair is gray.  This  shows that the warthog uses what it has everyday in its environment. Does the warthog need to have a specific environment. 

    The warthog does not live in New York City it lives in wide open spaces.  For example the warthog tends to live in South Africa ,the Sahara and the savannah. This shows that the warthog has little hair and doesn't mind the weather.  In addition the warthog lives in open space .  This shows that the warthog likes to run around all over the place. In addition the animal lives in abandon aardvark burrows.  This shows that it seems to be cooler underground. This shows the warthog wouldn't survive in New York City.

    So an avocado isn't as cool as a warthog. All of the animals on earth are important to help keep the world in its natural motion.
