At lunch time I stopped by the restaurant to get a bit to eat and the warthog was making a meal of the lovely grass in front of it. No digging for wild plants for him, he has cultured tastes.

A car had just ridden by this point and the people inside did not notice the elephant so well disguised as a rock on the side of the road.
