That’s the most intelligent warthog or any other prey animal I’ve ever seen. Extremely well played warthog
Pigs are some of the smartest animals on Earth. It's a shame they are eaten and treated so poorly.
If u don’t eat them the wild dogs will.
@@jessewolf7649 Dumbest comment of the day.
The warthog got lucky that the dogs got distracted. I don't see any display of intelligence by any participant in this encounter.
Your thoughts and comment show your lack of what it is you don’t see in the clip. It’s just risk and reward played out. The warthog is intelligent enough to know that the dogs present a danger but if it stands its ground the dogs may not attack and the dogs are intelligent enough to know the warthog could be food but the risk of sustaining injury prevents them attacking such an agile, fit, quick and dangerous target. The dogs were already starting to lose interest when the zebra ambled through.
Love how he just casually walks away while the zebras work as accidental distractions
Clever warthog🙂
That warthog really owes those zebras a drink
A drink with crocodiles in it.

Zebra came like a policemen- what's going on here, go home 😁

jaja that's exactly what i thought
@@gonzalol.r.464 Great 🙂👍
🤣🤣🤣🤣
This Warthog was very smart here. He knew that if he turned his back or used too much of his energy, he would've been an absolute goner. The lad stood his ground and only charged when it was necessary. He absolutely deserved to survive this battle.
Esther that or he just didnt know quite well what to do lol
Usually they would have forced him to expel more energy and wear him out by attacking from the rear like they always do to hyenas and even lions. But they didn't do that in this video. Wonder why
@@princeosars3298 They wasn't hungry.
They call him Mr. Pig.
@Drew Keenan Not always since wild dogs have a very high successful hunt rate. They are probably the most successful predators in the world.
Haha love how they jump everytime he moves and the casual way the zebras stroll along like they're deep in conversation
Glad you have fun watching This Animals struggle to survive and fight every day.,,,
Some cute puppies went hungry to bed.
Looked like there was only 1 zebra at first, then it split into 2. Amazing. Right timing to save the warthog.
Moral of the story: NEVER RUN FROM A DOG OR TURN YOUR BACK!
Reality: gets bitten so hard your face gets ripped off
on this video are not hyenas lol
who said they were?
If this many come for you you’re most probably screwed either way. This warthog’s a real warrior
@Mike Studmuffin bro not him its warthog🤣🤣🤣🤣
the warthog should thank the two cops for arriving finally.
5-oh rolling in their black & whites.
fuck u
lmao
hahahhaa lol
Lol
This warthog handled the wild dogs outstandingly well. I am very impressed. The 2 Zebras showed up like the cavalry at the end of a good action western movie.
Dogs: if we’re patient we might just get dinner tonight Zebras : Alright party’s over.
Pumba is so brave...opening the way for the zebras, what a gentleman.
Warthog like "If I gotta go I'm taking at least of couple of you MFs with me
Alpha dog: Hey guys, we got food! Other dogs: We know but you go first.
Even leopards wouldnt really mess with them so easily.
Call a Warthog ugly, call him what ya like but you can't ever say he is heartless or lacking courage.
@@iang-lb7nx True! What do they eat, though?...and they don't hunt other animals. Do they?

Warthog's like, "Try something, you punks. You won't." Zebras stroll up, "These guys bothering you bro?" "Nah they were just leaving."

Warhog can kill a wildog don't get confused now lol those two sharp things don't play
He didn't, though. Neither did he send the dogs to eat that warthog taking a bath.
I wasn't expecting the warthog to win, wow. Honestly looked like they were about to initiate him into the pack he fought so well.
like all dogs these live for the chase they will not attack unless the prey is running if faced by an opponent with formidable weapons rather than getting injured or kill they will leave to live another day
Shows how much safer it is when you use the zebra crossing
Yessssssss I like this
Dang, Nice one!
Wow! Great one
Awesome
I love that
Warthog was like: “which one y’all will take a beaten for the team, who wanna get smacked up first!!” Them African wild dogs know what time it is with them warthogs, strength, durability, & don’t mind rollin’ around in the dirt!
A very brave warthog. Respect.
Warthog, is like,"Let's get this done! I've got to be somewhere in 15 minutes!" 😎
What is notable also is that the predators are not growling and baring teeth, as is usually the way Hollywood portrays predators with anthropomorphic viciousness. They are hungry, not vengeful. They are also conserving their energy, protecting themselves from the warthog's horns (teeth?) and strategizing. I know they need to eat, but I'm glad the warthog got away.
They're called "tusks."
warthog : which one of you mo fo's is feeling lucky
I pictured that in my head now I'm on my floor laughing
No ones made a joke yet how the zebras are referees?? 😂they’re literally in black and white stripes
yes right . all in order after just patrol and show presence😂
lmao 😂. Now to think of it, it's pretty funny 😆.
I was thinking that! They broke it up. The warthog needs to thank them.
They're the police lol came to break it up 😂
Yeah, i'm sure you missed the the very 1st comment with the most amount of likes that is a joke about zebra referees! You totally didn't copy that comment so you could get likes!

Referee ( zebra) comes and says ., Yes your time is over the match has ended.
You can learn a lot from watching how animals fight. If you are ever in a multiple fight gang attack here are some pointers I picked up. This was a 1:12 match! 1. Attitude is everything. Don't look weak and indicate weakness. The warthog stood his ground and looked ready to charge. He did not falter. Importantly, he did not make weak charges but charged a few times when necessary to get the dogs to back off and keep a critical distance from him. Its a waiting game. Once you engage, its full on and only for a few seconds. 2. He never gave his back to any hyena. He kept the brush behind him and kept those dogs in plain view so no ambush. 3. He never ran. When you run, you concentrate the whole pack in one direction toward you, and its your back. Furthermore, if you run, the attackers gain speed and momentum to launch themselves on you with force. Bad idea. 4. In a multiple attack, look for an opening and charge into it, coming out on the other end and facing attackers again. If you keep them in front of you in a 90-180 degree half circle, they will bump into each other when attacking. They also cannot gain any speed or momentum and have to launch attacks from standing. A car cannot fly at 60 mph with no ground to build up speed. 5. Conserve energy until needed. Warthog feigned a few darts but no real commitment. He held energy in reserve. Fights last 10 secs at most and then its over. You have 10 secs at maximum force, all out till you win or are killed. The one with energy wins. Your opponent can also get tired just by waiting to pounce and pick an easier target. 6. Zebras walked as a pair, not separately. They were tight together so dogs could not cut off access to the other and surround each one. 6 dogs can bring down a zebra. By sticking together, they could bite or kick in a 360 degree angle fending off 6 dogs each easily. What the dogs have is nimbleness, speed, pack attack. What zebras have is larger size, huge kick strength, pretty good bite, and sheer bulk. 7. The zebras hate the dogs as much as the warthogs, so they joined forces in chasing them off. Common enemy makes for unusual friendships.
Good observation
More than good. Great 👍
So much text and you say nothing, good job.
This doesn't work on humans though. The more you fight them the more they gang up on you. It's either you comply or die.
“ when I was a young warthog!” 🎶
Two zebras "ello ello ello, wots all this then"
😂😂😂
Don't mind us just passing through!
Were those zebras wearing heels..
I imagined the zebras as two tough British guys breaking up a scuffle
😂😂😂
The decision by a warthog not to panic saved his life.
Just proves that even if your outnumbered, if your brave and show no fear or emotion you can make the attacker think twice.
The golden rule in life or death situations is simple: it's okay to be afraid; just don't show it!
It's okay to show it. I bought 3 boxes of N-95s by early February 2020.
"Beat it man! Here come the black and white!"
Those zebras looked so majestic, like angels passing through, keeping things in peace.....
NYC you probably have to be a poet.
Yeah but zebras are actually natures go to snack
Yeah... until a lion rips out their throats.

Love how the Zebras step in and say, "oi, break it up you lot!"
Hef CD fdddd da red
when the zebra crossing 😂😂 The warthog had such a massive adrenaline rush that it kept running until it ended up at the nearest ocean.
This is the game of nerves.The small young lone warthog is really bold that has kept the whole pack of wild dogs at a respectable distance for quite sometime and consequently saved the day to enjoy a second life.
He's not by himself, he's distracting the dogs away from his buddy /family, seen briefly at 0:17 on the left.
@@tichu7 good observation man!
Terry Melvin they do scavenge kills too .... every time a big animals goes down like a zebra or buffalo the dogs are always there waiting for the lions or hyena or whoever to leave so they can get the scraps before the birds do ...
tichu7 right on. Good observation
He is a full grown male with very sharp tusks
This was adorable..I love animals...but I swear those zebras came outta nowhere😂
Most successful African predator, these dogs!! 80% success!
I honestly think the wild dogs were just not hungry enough 😏
True
This is what I believe too
😂😂😂
I love guys like you who never give credit where it is due atleast regard warthog
Benny, wish you were there in person to prove this fact of yours
Police arrived, road rage ended!
The warthog is teaching us lessons about self defence: never turn your back to an assailant or a predator! His size is also pretty intimidating but his confidence and muscle flexing helped a lot. No doubt the warthog was lucky the wild dogs were probably not hungry and chose to tease and banter instead. The zebras were God sent to break the ice and give the warthog a new lease of life.
Sadauki Sadiq Well put. I have read that gazelles leap into the air to show predators how fit they are. It's important to exude confidence, especially in tight situations. I would prefer any death to that of death by hyena or wild dog pack.
@Sadauki Sadik well said. Another lesson is that while the Warthog did posture aggressively, it didn't go berserk and charge at a couple of wild dogs...Which would ultimately lead to an all-out battle in which the Warthog would end up getting lynched. It did just about enough to keep them at bay until the beautiful Zebras arrived to save the day.
Exactly, if the dogs were hungry they would've just kept harassing until they got an opportunity to get Pumba from behind.
@elijah mikle Great response, I never knew that wild dogs eat their own, how gruesome and aweful!
@@princexl33840 I've never heard that about wild dogs. I know that they are one of the most successful hunting predators with an 8 out of 10 hunt being successful and also they ensure every member is fed. Even the young will share what they have with other members of the pack.
There's always someone at the back hiding... waiting for the rest to risk it all 😂
Anyone noticed the second warthog in the leftside bushes at 0:19 Its literally ran away, to be on safer side
wow good catch lol
Made a quick u-turn

This reminds me of Rock star's Bully where the Warthog is Jimmy Hopkins, the wild dogs are the other kids who want to beat you up and the Zebras are the prefects.
Warthog wasn't bout to go down easy. Dude was looking for a good fight himself
It's amazing how all predators instinctively know not to mess with the warthog. Warthogs are intelligent, mean and deadly.

Imagine the world has devolved into absolute anarchy and you're surrounded by a team of psychopathic murderers that only eat their victims alive from the inside-out. This moment, they have selected YOU to be on their menu, but as they are sizing you up and maneuvering to murder you in a manner least likely for them to get injured, a knight in shining armor in the form of two zebras, run them off with their sheer nobility-of-presence. That is what the warthog lived-through for real.

They where not hungry enough, animals do not have human feelings
Warthog remembering it opted out of the "how to quickly walk backwards" classes.
He will tell his grandkids that he once saw his life flash through his eyes
