This attempt to ‘pet’ a warthog ended as badly – and hilariously – as you’d expect
This video of an unexpected visit by a warthog has just gone wildly viral for reasons which are about to become apparent.
If you only watch one warthog video this week, then absolutely, definitely, 100% make it this one.
Wait for it, wait for it …
No don't pat the warthog 🤣🤣 pic.twitter.com/RK7cR9S7QY

The only person who didn’t see that coming was surely the person who suggested they pet it.
Here are just a few of the many things people were saying about it.
"I wonder if we can pet him"

If I saw an animal with tusks sauntering toward me I would simply yield the space https://t.co/8CYjO2Mu9h

Does the animal you are contemplating petting have knives coming out of its face? Yes?
NO. YOU CAN'T PET IT.

Pro tip: assume wild animals are all dangerous. Doesn’t matter if they actually are, but you can avoid situations like this if you do.

I remember reading archival notes about how many colonisers were eaten by lions in 19th century expeditions and the figures are beginning to make sense. https://t.co/z2xSW7SEdw
