The desert warthog is an important host of the tsetse fly, [10] [11] and in some parts of its range efforts are being made to reduce warthog numbers because of this. [11] Specifically, P. aethiopicus was the preferred host for Glossina swynnertoni and G. pallidipes in a study by Weitz 1963.

Many dogs (family Canidae) and bovids take about a year to reach maturity while primates (including humans) and dolphins (Delphinidae) require more than 10 years. Some whales take even longer, with the longest duration being recorded for the bowhead whale ( Balaena mysticetus ), which reaches maturity at an age of only about 23 years.
The licking clears the nose and mouth, dries the lamb, and stimulates it. [1] Lambs that are breathing and healthy at this point begin trying to stand, and ideally do so between a half and full hour, with help from the mother. [1] Generally after lambs stand, the umbilical cord is trimmed to about an inch (2.5 centimetres).
The American black bear is both predator and competitor, but in most areas probably may not impact feral pig populations enough to control them. Programs do exist to protect the weakened numbers of large predators in the U.S., but it is expected to take a very long time for these animals to naturally repopulate their former habitat. [44]
