    When reading the Ethiopian report, I see you wrote down the warthogs in Awash as desert warthogs? Are you sure about this, because I have been working in that area over the past three years and every warthog I saw (and have seen pictures of) was a common warthog. Do you have any pictures by any chance, because there are more people who claim to see desert warthog in the Awash area, though to my knowledge they occur only further east…

    Theo,
    You are right, they are common warthogs. I’m going to send Jon a corrected report, but I’m waiting for the next volume of HMW to arrive because there are a few more IDs that I need to check.
