A clean sweep

Article Abstract:

Red river hogs are a little known species of swine that live in the rain forests of central Africa. They can weigh up to 250 pounds, are highly social, and eat seeds and leaves off the forest floor. Their natural predators are lions and hyenas, but increasingly humans are hunting the animals for their valuable meat.
