Designing a Realistic Warthog Habitat | The Living Desert | Planet Zoo

Stop spending 7 hours placing individual pebbles. Today, I’m showing you the "Oceania Rock Trick" to create a weathered, high-detail dryland habitat for Warthogs and African Crested Porcupines in minutes.

In this episode of The Living Desert, we move away from the lush savannas and into the arid, high-traffic environment of an East African Boma Village. Warthogs are notorious for destroying vegetation, so we’re stripping the grass away in favor of a compacted, rocky terrain that mirrors real-world AZA husbandry standards.
