Warthog being Attacked - Wild Animal Life
Transcript
00:00 The wild world is an unequal battle for survival.
00:11 Fighting for territory, fighting for food and fighting to protect children is what happens
00:16 every day.
00:18 Wartog is no exception.
00:20 In the face of the cheetah predator, does the mother Wartog risk her life to protect
00:25 her baby?
00:27 We invite you to watch today's video.
00:38 Wartog protects him from the cheetah's pursue.
00:47 Every day the job of carnivores is to hunt.
00:51 So is the cheetah.
00:53 The prey it targets today is the young Wartog.
01:00 Wartog is one of the favorite menu of the predators.
01:03 They dwell in the burrows dug deep in the ground to rest and hide from predators.
01:17 They are characterized largely by two pairs of tusks protruding from their mouths and curling upwards,
01:24 used for digging and fighting and defense against predators.
01:35 Today as usual the Wartog swarm came out and went to feed.
01:40 But they were caught in the sights of the predator, the cheetah.
01:45 The time came, the cheetah approached to attack the baby Wartog.
01:53 But its hunt was unsuccessful as the mother Wartog attacked and chased away the predators
01:59 in order to protect the cubs.
02:11 Before the attack of the large and fierce mother Wartog, the cheetah quickly turned
02:15 and ran.
02:17 With the bravery of a predator it is not easy to ignore.
02:33 The cheetah has always followed the Wartog herd to wait for the right opportunity.
02:42 When she saw an opportunity, the mother Wartog let her guard down and the cheetah rushed
02:48 to attack the young Wartog.
02:51 Hearing the cry of the baby Wartog, its mother immediately ran over and rammed the cheetah.
03:02 The painful bite caused the predator to fly up and fly away, refusing to let go.
03:09 The mother Wartog also chased and threatened the predator.
03:16 It can be seen that the mother Wartog has become stronger and more aggressive than usual
03:23 to be able to protect her baby from danger.
03:29 The relationship between Wartog and cheetah is confrontational and adversarial.
03:38 Because the cheetah often hunted and killed the Wartog, but now standing in front of it
03:43 was the hot-tempered prey.
03:46 Cheetah also did not dare to take the risk, perhaps it will have to find another prey.
03:57 The Wartog is known to be the only pig that has adapted to an environment with lawns and
04:02 grasslands.
04:11 They have the longest gestation period of all pig species from 170 to 175 days and produce
04:18 litters of 1 to 7 piglets, averaging 3 piglets per litter.
04:26 Young Wartogs spend 6 to 7 weeks in the burrow before heading out with their mother.
04:32 This is also a way of protecting the mother Wartog's children.
04:43 Not only the cheetah, the young Wartog is also attacked by all other carnivores and
04:49 most notoriously the lion.
04:52 Because they also dig burrows to hunt Wartogs, so the Wartogs have nowhere to hide from the
04:59 lions.
05:06 The Wartog family is looking for meals.
05:10 Wartog mother left her baby in the cave and began the journey to find prey.
05:21 However the lions have observed this, they decided to dig a burrow to catch prey.
05:29 The predator persistently digs the ground.
05:32 It tries to dig deep to hunt with its prey.
05:36 Looking at the poor child lying in the clutches of the predator, the Wartog showed great regret.
05:43 It could not save the child, but could only helplessly watch the child being eaten.
05:51 Perhaps the mother Wartog knew well that in the face of a great union of lions, it had
05:57 no chance of survival.
06:01 If it rushes to fight, it will surely become the prey of the lion alliance.
06:13 At the time of not being able to hunt prey, but if the Wartog's lair is found, the lion
06:18 never misses this opportunity.
06:24 Sniffing the smell of food in the den, the lions quickly began to dig in the ground in
06:29 search of prey.
06:31 The cave seems to be quite deep, so it takes a lot of work to dig it.
06:40 After a while of working with the mud, the lion caught a Wartog.
06:44 The predator attacked and carried the prey to a safe place to enjoy.
06:54 We can see that the Wartog protects the baby very well against predators like cheetah.
06:59 It can fight to protect the baby because it knows well that a lone predator of its small
07:05 size will have a good chance of winning.
07:11 But the large and numerous predator Wartog can only become food for lions.
07:23 Only then can we see that the wild world is beautiful but hidden deep in the harshness
07:30 and cruelty of the laws of survival.
07:33 The young often suffer double their cruelty.
07:35 Hunger, disease and predators are always around to kill the young.
