This week’s challenge over at Sunday Stills is Textures.
I was going to post several different textural things, but this one subject matter covered the bases on many levels.
First you’ve got bumpy, scratchy, and rough.
Then you’ve got coarse and hairy.
Followed by spiky and knobby.
And let’s not forget: Slimy, Sticky and Muddy.

Yes, I’d say that Wart Hogs are very textural creatures, don’t you agree?
To see how others have covered the textural topic, check out Sunday Stills.

haha what a ugly-in-a-cute-way creature!
you've covered all bases here well done :)
Reminds me of my Aussie Sadie! At least the slimy, sticky, muddy part! LOL!
Love the wart hog! They definately have warts! Not the prettiest creature, that's for sure!
Great pictures!! Even if it is a wart hog! I'll take it!
I was waiting for the punchline, hoping that this wasn't one of your pets.
Yup, pretty much got the texture thing covered there!
She is sort of pretty if you look at her long enough. Maybe I'd better get my glasses checked.
Ha!! Great post...glad to see some humor coming from you~~
I love the details of the coarse hair (?) and the mud. And I agree its cutie-ugly, though perfect series for the theme. Thanks for the visit and comments here
Great pics, Lisa!!
I love how in the 2nd picture the Warthog looks like he has heels on!! Lol... =)
Oh my! I love that first photo, it is a visual puzzle . . . my first thought was "is it alive?" Great photos.
LOVE the descriptions! Hysterical. Great photos too!
Yup, I agree with you, they are very textural creatures!
Awesome pictures!!
Too cute!! Makes me think of the Lion King. :):) Nice job.
Ohh! Thats a weird texture! I agree with you, they are textural in many levels. :) nice one!
Very nice, Hakuna Matadda..:-)
Great photos! You're right, the waryhog is a perfect "texture on legs" - nice take on the subject

Thank Goodness, he's in the zoo. Thought you had started a new animal line.
You know I thought about getting in on this one but wasn't sure how to go about finding texture...You made me see that you can find it anywhere. Even in something as ugly cute as a warthog. Good job Lisa.
Yup, you definately got lots of texture with that subject.
Never seen a real warthog, hmm, I can't see the cuteness :/ but is indeed a forest of textures on legs. Boy are they HAIRY!
Yes, textural in a not so cuddly way.
Oh my! Definately a textural experience! Wow! Great pictures!
awesome creatures and awesome photogs both... wow

I do now agree they've got lots of texture. First time I've seen this here, thanks for sharing. Great large posts here Lisa.
Thanks for the visit too..
Lisa, You chose one of my absolute favorite creatures, warthogs are so cool, they are so ugly you just can't help but love them. We used to have a pair that hung out in the safari camp where I worked in Zambia and mowed the grass for us, we all loved them and the babies (we called them wartlets!) are just the cutest.
Oh my goodness, that is one funny looking critter - with lots of texture!
Wow, somehow my hog is not quite as unattractive as she was a few minutes ago. I will say this for a warthog, he was created with great textures thus making him a perfect specimen for Sunday Stills. Beautiful shots as always :)
You always have the best subjects for your photos!
I love you pictures, what odd looking critters? I think he covers a multitude of textures.
Hi Lisa! Great pictures. Sometimes I wonder what the reasons behind some animals characteristics like that wart hog has so many lumps and bumps and that long hair, and his face, Whoa! Amazing
xoxoxoxo
Oh, my.....LOL....wart hogs are WARTY!!! Great pictures Lisa, wart hogs sure aren't very purty are they?
good texture for sure!!! Excellent pictures!
~Jane and Gilly~
Great idea and great photos! Very creative. Carmon
My first close encounter with a wart hog:)
Definately a "so ugly he's cute" kinda critter! lol
I've never seen a Warthog before! Thanks for introducing us to a very textural creature! Great shots!
Don't you just wonder what God was thinking when he made creatures that look like wart hogs, wildabeasts (sp?) and hyenas??? LOL!!! Good job on catching the many facets of the local wart hog...teeheehee! :)
Yep, you covered them all! I don't think I've ever seen that cutie pie at the zoo. I'll be sure to look for him next time around.
Cute pictures
Es una gran belleza de fotografÃa, con una cámara muy simple, considerando que muchas profesionales ni se acercan a esta nitidez. Depende mucho del ojo y habilidad del fotógrafó. Felicitaciones!!!
