#WednesdayWhyDay Why do warthogs run with their tail up?
The tail going up is an involuntary action that occurs when the animal is running, tense or alert. The tail is controlled by flexing the muscles of the back, neck and forelimbs. It is said that they have adapted in this way in order to follow each other through long grass.
