Two warthogs, a kudu and a pigeon provide hours of fun

Meet the cheerful four of Kranspoort holiday village.

Welcome to the Kranspoort animal amusement park.

Two warthogs, a kudu and a pigeon keep residents of the bushveld town about 40 kilometres from Middelburg busy for hours.

The two warthogs, Willie and Wollie, have residents laughing with their playfulness.

Their antics on a mound of dirt would have surpassed even the biggest monkey tricks.

Penny is the tame kudu at Kranspoort who was raised by Willie and Riana Schoeman after her mother died at birth.

She regularly stops by Pumba’s Den for a snack.

Jimbo and Noleene Gordon, owners of Pumba’s Den, let the curious kudu do whatever she wants when she walks into their place.

Then there are Willie and Wollie, the two blood-brother warthogs who are sometimes pig and other times clown.

Add to that the tame rock pigeon named Bismarck who sits on Jimbo’s head and won’t tolerate anyone else near him, and you have enough video footage to keep the world smiling all day.

Watch how the two play and cause trouble.
