Unwanted visitors

We have had some unusual visitors to our backyard this last couple of weeks. Cale woke up a few weeks ago to find this little guy 15 feet from our back door. Then Emma woke me up today to tell me that there were bears in our backyard. I went to the door and saw 3 of these things! I immediately woke up Cale and said what the heck is in my yard. They ran away before he saw them but I told him they looked like black warthogs. He said they are called Havalinas and are wild. I looked them up and they are actually distant relatives of the Hippo, not pigs!
