fpb_raw You Won't Believe What This Warthog Does On Cold Nights! [PIC]

This email about Spike the Warthog was forwarded to us and although we cannot testify to its authenticity we thought it was definately worth sharing with you.

The story goes like this: A woman was visiting a wildlife reserve in Zimbabwe. While she was enjoying a drink at the bar a wild warthog suddenly strolled into the bar and went up to the bartender. Without saying anything the bartender handed the warthog a pillow. The warthog then made his way over to the fireplace, layed down on the pillow and went to sleep. Supposedly, he does this on very cold nights. Then in the morning he wakes up and goes back to the bush. The tale even suggests that if the bartender isn't there the warthog goes over to the couch and gets his own pillow! The email says that the woman snapped this pic of the warthog. What do you think, fact or fiction?

I do believe it is true. We made a pic of this warthog at Quiver Tree Forest Rest Camp some years ago. Opposite the pig was the dog fast asleep on another mattress.
