🐾Common warthog
Het knobbelzwijn (Phacochoerus africanus) is een zwijn uit de familie van de varkens (Suidae). Het wordt soms ook wrattenzwijn genoemd, maar deze naam wordt ook gebruikt voor een groep Aziatische zwijnen van het geslacht Sus. Tegenwoordig worden meestal twee soorten knobbelzwijnen onderscheiden, Phacochoerus africanus, het gewone knobbelzwijn, en Phacochoerus aethiopicus, het woestijnknobbelzwijn uit Ethiopië en Somalië.
