wildlife conservation society wcs Rutting Season in Zululand - Warring Warthog

The rutting season generally takes place in Winter in Zululand, South Africa. Most ungulates coincide the birthing season with periods of the year when conditions are favourable in terms of rainfall and therefore food availability. In the case of the warthog farrowing periods in Africa, other environmental variables such as temperature, photo-period and nutritional status of forage are found to influence the timing of breeding.

While on our way to monitor a pack of African Wild Dogs, we came across two male warthog that were clearly competing with each other for mating rights. The battle was fierce as their heads knocked hard against one another and at one point the larger male broke off part of the other males tusk - literally sending it flying several meters away! This sort of behaviour is essential for spreading superior genes throughout the population as males that are physically dominant will generally win in the end. This ultimately determines the fitness of a species.
