<P> The common warthog is the only pig species that has adapted to grazing and savanna habitats . Its diet is omnivorous , composed of grasses , roots , berries and other fruits , bark , fungi , insects , eggs and carrion . The diet is seasonably variable , depending on availability of different food items . During the wet seasons , warthogs graze on short perennial grasses . During the dry seasons , they subsist on bulbs , rhizomes , and nutritious roots . Warthogs are powerful diggers , using both their snouts and feet . Whilst feeding , they often bend their front feet backwards and move around on the wrists . Calloused pads that protect the wrists during such movement form quite early in the development of the fetus . Although they can dig their own burrows , they commonly occupy abandoned burrows of aardvarks and other animals . The common warthog commonly reverses into burrows , with its head facing the opening and ready to burst out if necessary . Common warthogs will wallow in mud to cope with high temperatures and huddle together to cope with low temperatures . </P>
