Herbert

Herbert the Warthog is a warthog who lives in the African landscape.

Physical Appearance

Herbert is a brown medium-sized warthog With four tusks located between his snout. He is shown to have small black steaks of hair all around his body as well as four sets of legs (the front ones which he occasionally uses as hands). He is also shown to have two pointy ears located above his eyes.

Personality

As a warthog, Herbert prefers things that often have to do with being messy like having a mud bath, often in a rather lazy personality. In addition to this, he is occasionally shown to have a fond of food - most often watermelons or muddy potatoes, which he would occasionally eat. In spite of his messy personality, Herbert can show a rather stubborn yet bossy personality in certain occasions such as his encounter with Esmeralda or such as the moment where he constantly irritated several other animals with his noisy habits (as shown in "The Story of Herbert's Peaceful Day"). Despite this, he is shown to have a social personality in certain situations when he meets other characters and can occasionally be helpful at times.

Occasionally, Herbert uses a set of rocks which he uses as musical instruments, specifically playing them in the style of drums (Herbert originally played them without sticks in Season 1, but as of Season 3, he played them using sticks he uses as drusmsticks). In certain occasions, Herbert may perform with Zed who uses gourds as maracas or Alan who uses his own snout as a trumpet, often impressing a lot of animals in Africa (more often at the Old Volcano).

Trivia

  • Herbert is voiced by Keith Wickham, who has done multiple voices in the series such as Nelson or Victor.
  • Herbert's first appearance was in the sixth episode of the series, despite being featured in the opening song of the series.
    • Additionally, Herbert never spoke until the following episode after the sixth episode.
  • Herbert is a popular character in the series, due to the fact that he became a recurring character from the series itself.
  • He share traits with Martha in "Martha Speaks". Both she and Herbert are very messy animals. Here's the difference. Herbert's a warthog and Martha's a dog.
  • Herbert is pictured in a thumbnail depicting an Australian background for a 30-minute compilation video on YouTube containing episodes focusing on him. Despite being pictured, only warthogs are found in Africa; thus, a better choice would be a razorback instead, a wild boar similar to warthogs found in Australia in real life.
  • Herbert does not have thick hair, unlike his real life counterpart. His appearance looks like an actual pig. Also, his color bears a resemblance to a Eurasian wild boar.
  • Herbet is one of An Vrombaut's favorite characters from 64 Zoo Lane, alongside Georgina.
