Botswana Razorbacks, Suuuiiieee

 There are a LOT of warthogs in Botswana.  We have them just a few kilometers from our flat.  We saw lots in Victoria Falls, and a few here and there along the roadside.  We saw dozens at Khama Rhino Reserve.
 As you can see, they aren't too handsome, regardless of how generous you may be.


In Zambia, the herd o' hogs wasn't bothered by our presence or that of the workman above.

Warthogs are neat.  They get a bit alarmed and their skinny tail goes straight up.  They get pretty big and those tusks are impressive.  They seem to be willing to stand their ground when necessary.  They survive a world of lions, leopard, hyenas, wild dogs, and humans.  Not sure how they do this.

Warthogs aren't Kosher, because they don't chew the cud.  They aren't pretty.  They aren't the bravest.  They aren't the most talented.



I can relate to the warthog.  G^d didn't make many of us as handsome/beautiful heroes.  Most of us are average.  Yet the Christ died for us individually.

Thanks be to G^D!
