On September 26th 2022 we’ve made the decision to start banning people for posting gore. We’ve published our [Gore and Harassment update here.](https://www.reddit.com/r/AbruptChaos/comments/xmtclq/gore_and_harassment/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) if you posted gore please remove it as it will result in a ban. Thank you.
It’s not thinking anything. Warthogs are idiots.
They get eaten all the time in the wild because they’ll be running away from a lion or something and then they’ll just forget why they’re running and stop.
Not sure what this guy was upto though as I’ve been touching distance to these things loads of times and they just do their own thing.
Uhhhhh, pigs are one of the more intelligent creatures in the animal kingdom. They stop running because they can't sweat, so they'll literally overheat and die if they run for too long. They can only do their best, they're not idiots. They didn't "forget," they simply cannot go on.
Pumba literally means stupid in Swahili.
I’ve seen them stop, look around and then be like “oh yeah, lion”.
It’s a bit odd to suggest that animals of the same family are equally intelligent.
Substantially. Relative to about the top 10% of doctors and professors, the average western adult is dense enough to be considered mentally handicapped. Even among the able-minded of our kind, there are gulfs between different groups.
Here are four different sources including a book written by a ten-year [chairman and director](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Fr%C3%A4drich) of the Berlin Zoo whose PhD dissertation was entitled "Zur Biologie und Ethologie des Warzenschweines unter Berücksichtigung des Verhaltens anderen Suiden (On the biology and ethology of the warthog taking into account the behaviour of other suids)" in which he notes their intelligence (along with their vigilance, which you also called into question) on page 133.

Social media is mostly morons. As you can see, explaining things to a group of them isn't worth most people's time.
After correction, do you really want to argue with a person who couldn't or wouldn't comprehend you?
Being sheepish is valued more than intelligence. Welcome to human tribalism, try to keep your distance.
We all do it. But Social Media is this fun thing where it takes the loudest idiots and makes them see knowledgeable by using that sheep tribalism we love.
Even if you could prove it wrong with a 5 second Google search lol
I know 😂 this is one of my favorite videos of all time. It knows exactly what’s going down. Man is truly convinced that is a friendly approach.
“Hello boi!”
*crazed pig sounds*
It’s not a dog. Some animals wag their tails as a sign of irritation. Heck, even dogs will sometimes wag their tails before absolutely mauling something. Not all excitement is friendly excitement
See, the trick is if the animal goes into a big song and dance number about love and friendship then it’s okay to pet it
But if it doesn’t even after being prompted with a full orchestra, then probably no
You are of course 100% correct, but I feel like this warthog was intent on fucking him up regardless of whether he tried to pet it or not. What would the right move here be, try to scare it off? Outrun it?
That's the biggest issue here, damn warthog wanted the violence, it sought him out and did so in a non threatening manner just to fulfill it's violent act quota of the day.
I barely trust my cats. They are like please pet my belly i'm super chill. Wrong! it was always meant as a hand trap, designed to use all four feet in the attack including teeth.
I’d even say don’t try to pet domestic animals unless explicitly told it’s ok by owners, and always make sure you’re doing it safely. I know of plenty of people that have lost fingers or broken bones thinking that farm animals are all from petting zoos.
Yeah, even a friendly *looking* dog can have faster reflexes to bite your hand, then you will have to pull your hand back, especially if you are not being vigilant.
Any wild hogs are mean as hell. I live in Missouri and Wild Hogs are a Epidemic. My Dads friend was hunting and they chased him up a Tree stand and wouldn’t leave for hours and hours.
They will kill you and eat you
We have / had wild boars up in Michigan. Escaped from one of those god awful "hunting reserves". You could shoot on sight because of how agressive they are, and the damage they cause to the environment.
Down here in Georgia if you see a hog you can kill it and keep it. They’re wild, invasive, and mean as fuck.
Edit: Domesticated pigs will also 100% kill and eat you. They do not care. Don’t fuck with pigs.
Had an eye doctor in the town I grew up in die from being gored by one to death. They found his body days later when his wife reported him missing. His legs had been mostly eaten.
Boars are the epitome of “fuck around; find out.” They aren’t cute slow critters like pigs.
I'm from France and we got boars a lot (Sangliers) and everyone knows not to fuck with them, they go for the big artery between your legs with their tusks. Loads of people get disemboweled or bleed out because of them. That's about the only wild animal we can see when we hike back home, but yeah, you learn to avoid them or go up trees fast.
I took a 911 call sorta like this once. Two drunk guys were camping and one thought it’d be cool to try and wrestle a javalina (kind of like a really angry pig/rat the size of a medium dog).
Shockingly, the javalina wasn’t onboard with this and bit the guy’s finger off. A fun time was not had by all.
[But theyre so cute!](https://www.google.com/search?q=javalina&oq=javalina&aqs=chrome..69i57j46i10i433i512j46i10i131i175i199i433i512j0i10i512l9j0i10i131i433i512j0i10i512.3993j0j1&client=ms-android-mpcs-us-revc&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8)
They absolutely are, they’re one of my favorite animals! And the babies look like little loaves of bread with legs.
All that being said, it is never a good idea to pet the wildlife lol. Especially angry pigrats.
I would 100% try to wrestle/cuddle one of these if I was drunk, especially if I didn't think it would be capable of biting off fingers. Glad I am able to learn from others though.
Lol I guess I can see, if you're only looking at clear, close-up pictures of them when they're calm, and fairly clean. I've never had to look up pictures of them, when you see them all around everytime you go out to the desert. They always looked like dirty, destructive, over-populated little pig-rats that will fuck you up, and fuck up or kill your pets, just like any other hog.
Just like coyotes here, pretty sure they're so overpopulated you might not even need a tag to shoot them, just a hunting license. But still not many people do, because they're not good eatin' either. Apparently near their rump they've got a big stink gland, and if you puncture it in any way while cleaning them, it will ruin the whole batch of meat.
Yes that was warthogs. Saw that in a documentary.They are so agressive that it's not worth to hunt them, because the chance of injury for the predator is too high, even though they can definitely kill one
I grew up on a hog farm that had 5,000 pigs, I can speak from experience when I say that pigs are extremely aggressive, and those tusks are razor sharp, I’ve seen them tear into other pigs, and leave extremely large gashes in guys legs. Don’t F with pigs.
Humans: smartest species in the world
Also humans: uwu “ohhhh look at the cute widdle cuddle wuddle baby with those sharp, giant tusks!! c’mere have some pets” :3c
They need to sit people down before they fly to Africa and explain to people that animals in Africa are what people think animals in Australia are like. Africa is one of the most dangerous places to be lost in the wild because the prey animals will actually just kill you on sight if they see you a threat.
Warthogs have to fend off lions, leopards, cheetahs, hyenas, wild dogs, the works, ya think they lived this long by just walking up to things and staring at it expectedly?
Warthogs, boars and any kind of pig are some of the most terrifying animals to me. Those things will fucking tear you to peaces and eat you without a second thought. You don't even have to do anything to them, just be there. Nope. No, thank you. I'm out. Petting one?!?! I'd rather tear my own arm off.
Good rule of thumb: if it’s an animal that militaries often name weapon systems after then it probably doesn’t want to be your friend.
Applies to Tiger, Panther, And leopards.
I always post the same thing whenever this is reposted:
There's a reason why that thing is just casually wandering around the resort, it's *not scared of anything*, and that isn't something you should pet
Wart hogs are known to be aggressive. At one time (might still be happening, I'm not sure) you could shoot one on sight any time of year in my state. I know there are ranches in southwest US where people shoot a bunch of wart hogs out of a helicopter.
So I was a combat tracker and was operational in a region that warthogs are native and had to deal with them in the field.
They have really terrible sight. Terrible. When they encounter something they can't quite make out they approach it to get a smell and to touch it, so they can decide whether it's friend or foe. They have instinctual search patterns that prevent them from doing this to something like a large feline. They really hate humans but often can't tell we're humans from a distance, if one approaches you like this you are probably gonna be attacked once it gets a whiff.
When we saw them coming along the trail in the jungle we'd get off the trail and let them pass right by, if you were still they would pass within a few meters and have no idea. But once in a while, after passing they'd get a little scent and turn around to investigate. They were never hostile initially but we all new what they'd do once they got close, so if one turned around like that protocol was to shoot it. That protocol happened after a point man got tibia broken by one of these warthogs that just casually sauntered up to him, he almost bled out and died in the jungle, had to be medically discharged.
Judging by how quickly he started panicking im guessing the warthogs tusks gored through his leg/legs. Lots of people have died from having the artery in their thighs/legs nicked by these angry little shits.
That was one of the dumbest things ive ever seen. One look at that sucker should have told you all u needed to know about how much petting he was prepared to tolerate. The tail wagging is for flies, not making friends.

I love how calmly it walks up to beat his ass
Probably thinking to itself "lol this idiot isn't even trying to run away, this is too easy"
Then just walks away "time to go fuck something else up".
"I wonder if we can pet him?" - Famous last words.
He was wagging his tail, clearly he's friendly
If that's true for dogs, it must be true for warthogs!
Probably mine
Same. I want to pet every animal I see 😭
I believe his last words were 'Help me! Help!'
Yeah, but those aren't *famous*!

I mean just look at dogs. Just going from breed to breed, some are crazy intelligent, and some are derpy as fuck.
Yes, but in this case warthogs are the smarter breed. Domestication for the purpose of consumption doesn't generally translate well to intelligence.
Yep. There’s a difference. Just look at us and the apes and then the monkeys.
Or hell, the difference between two people.

Don’t try to pet wild animals. Most people aren’t Disney princesses.
People need to understand that not everything friend-shaped is actually a friend
But his tail was wagging
False advertising.
Misinformation.
Wild animals use their tails to keep flies and insects away.
It’s not a dog. Some animals wag their tails as a sign of irritation. Heck, even dogs will sometimes wag their tails before absolutely mauling something. Not all excitement is friendly excitement
well, even some people may feel excitement to attack someone else

I wag my tail when it's irritated, does that count?

Pigs are just as bad, release a pig in the wild and it will grow tusk and more hair like a boar, pigs are basically yet to be activated wild animals
Pigs will turn feral within two weeks of being in the wild. Barely domesticated.
I'm from France and we got boars a lot (Sangliers) and everyone knows not to fuck with them, they go for the big artery between your legs with their tusks. Loads of people get disemboweled or bleed out because of them. That's about the only wild animal we can see when we hike back home, but yeah, you learn to avoid them or go up trees fast.
There's a reason the Celts made their war trumpets in the shape of boars and used their imagery. They're all about the violence.
There's a reason Dorothy is so terrified of falling into the pen with them.

I shall call it the Pig-Quoakka.
*Laughs in Javalina*
Not to point fingers but that sounds like a stupid behaviour......
The old waggin of the tail warthog trick
Is that to keep the flies away from its asshole?
It's supposed to be a signal to keep the assholes away from itself.
Even lions fear them. They have serious attitude issues.
Yes that was warthogs. Saw that in a documentary.They are so agressive that it's not worth to hunt them, because the chance of injury for the predator is too high, even though they can definitely kill one
"Help me, I'm a dumbass, HELP!"
They don't make the kind of help that guy needs.
Thing comes out of the bushes looking like uncle ruckus
His tail wagging like “I’m gonna fuck this guys shit up”
Yep, the wagging tail wasn't to show how friendly he was, but to show how thrilled he was getting ready to attack an idiot.
YOU DIED
The gods are merciful.
Lol everybody knows those animals are aggressive af those have to be one of the most hostile wild animals, wtf was he thinking?
Not everyone as we can attest from this video
What’s with people saying they’re American? That’s not American English.
It’s Reddit
Definitely south african which is disappointing since the general consensus here is that warthogs are very dangerous.
Sounds South African
People on Reddit love the "America bad" mindset
Sounds South African to me as well.
WHEN I WAS A YOUNG WARTHOOOOOOOOOG!
When hee was a young warthooooog
I grew up on a hog farm that had 5,000 pigs, I can speak from experience when I say that pigs are extremely aggressive, and those tusks are razor sharp, I’ve seen them tear into other pigs, and leave extremely large gashes in guys legs. Don’t F with pigs.
A wise man once said "be wary of any man who keeps a pig farm"
Those things, much like boar, are ornery as hell and will gore the shit out of you without a second thought

so did he

I am never going outside again.
The thing is a war thug. Doesn’t the name say enough to know you shouldn’t pet it?
Why do we always want to pet things
Humans: smartest species in the world Also humans: uwu “ohhhh look at the cute widdle cuddle wuddle baby with those sharp, giant tusks!! c’mere have some pets” :3c
Pumba! What the hell?!
They need to sit people down before they fly to Africa and explain to people that animals in Africa are what people think animals in Australia are like. Africa is one of the most dangerous places to be lost in the wild because the prey animals will actually just kill you on sight if they see you a threat. Warthogs have to fend off lions, leopards, cheetahs, hyenas, wild dogs, the works, ya think they lived this long by just walking up to things and staring at it expectedly?
The guys from Africa
Yet doesn't know rule 1 of the African bush; don't go near any animal that isn't a human.
Rule 2: don’t go near humans either
It's a warthog you doos. No you can't fucking pat it. Jaasis.
Warthogs, boars and any kind of pig are some of the most terrifying animals to me. Those things will fucking tear you to peaces and eat you without a second thought. You don't even have to do anything to them, just be there. Nope. No, thank you. I'm out. Petting one?!?! I'd rather tear my own arm off.
He got hit so hard that his accent changed
Good rule of thumb: if it’s an animal that militaries often name weapon systems after then it probably doesn’t want to be your friend. Applies to Tiger, Panther, And leopards.
Disappointing from a South African. We know better.
I’ve played enough of the Far Cry games to know this is a terrible idea.
I loved the common sense from the missus, makes me feel like I am not the only one.
No matter how friendly they may seem, wild animals are wild. Leave them be.
Someone’s gonna need 40 stitches
My understanding of warthog behaviour is: always expect violence.
I feel like the “t” is misleading… they just should be called “warhogs”
hogs are not friendly. that's like petting a hippo.
“Fuk around and find out “
There's a reason why it isn't called Peacethog.
People don't realise how dangerous warthogs and wild pigs in general are. I'm less scared of bears than I am of wild boars.
This dude is wearing the exact hat I would picture on someone dumb enough to think they could pet a warthog.
"Gone awry"? No, this is petting a warthog going exactly the way it would always go.
very fair point lmao
Pumba is not a morning hog
Why are humans such idiots?

How did it go awry? That is what is supposed to happen.
I know better than to try this, but I'm not gonna lie and say it didn't act like it was completely chill with them at first
There’s a reason why it’s called “wildlife”
Warthog went Brrrrrrrrr
One’s hunting and the hunted wants to pet it lol
Man was a second away from being on eyeblech
When I was a young warthog
I always post the same thing whenever this is reposted: There's a reason why that thing is just casually wandering around the resort, it's *not scared of anything*, and that isn't something you should pet
I love seeing stupid people trying to pet wild animals…..

Wart hogs are known to be aggressive. At one time (might still be happening, I'm not sure) you could shoot one on sight any time of year in my state. I know there are ranches in southwest US where people shoot a bunch of wart hogs out of a helicopter.
So I was a combat tracker and was operational in a region that warthogs are native and had to deal with them in the field. They have really terrible sight. Terrible. When they encounter something they can't quite make out they approach it to get a smell and to touch it, so they can decide whether it's friend or foe. They have instinctual search patterns that prevent them from doing this to something like a large feline. They really hate humans but often can't tell we're humans from a distance, if one approaches you like this you are probably gonna be attacked once it gets a whiff. When we saw them coming along the trail in the jungle we'd get off the trail and let them pass right by, if you were still they would pass within a few meters and have no idea. But once in a while, after passing they'd get a little scent and turn around to investigate. They were never hostile initially but we all new what they'd do once they got close, so if one turned around like that protocol was to shoot it. That protocol happened after a point man got tibia broken by one of these warthogs that just casually sauntered up to him, he almost bled out and died in the jungle, had to be medically discharged.
The help me at the end got me
Rule number one for all wild pigs: do not. Just don’t. Whatever you’re thinking of that would make you be close to it, do not do it!
I wonder what injuries he sustained
Judging by how quickly he started panicking im guessing the warthogs tusks gored through his leg/legs. Lots of people have died from having the artery in their thighs/legs nicked by these angry little shits.
It is a wild boar, it is not your buddy
"I wonder if I can pet him," famous last words...
It has ‘war’ in it’s name, what did you expect?
Someone needs to edit this audio to the Will Smith and Chris Rock audio
Dude behind the camera "I am a 3rd level vegan and 5th level vegetarian. Animals know I pose no threat thus they are docile to me"
and thus..the game of thrones begins.
Pumba wasnt feelin too Hakuna, nor Matata, like...
Deserves it for trying to pet a warthog lol
Warthogs aren't just mean bastards, they are outright dangerous. They will easily kill someone.
"Help me, help, help me" jeez man 😬😅
Warthogs are fking deadly this is an extremely dangerous thing to do
You can tell it's tourists because of the vapid obliviousness towards "hmm... Should we touch this wild animal that Is approaching us? Absolutely!"
Fren ?
*What did you think was going to happen?*
Crash Bandicoot, the village checks out.
" help me, I'm stupid !"
That was one of the dumbest things ive ever seen. One look at that sucker should have told you all u needed to know about how much petting he was prepared to tolerate. The tail wagging is for flies, not making friends.
YOU KIDS GET OFF MY GRASS! Honestly, I'd rather pet an actual wart.
Did he loose his accent in the attack? 🤡
Hakuna fkn matata.
I’d say,….nope🤣🤣
