The red river hog (''Potamochoerus porcus''), also known as the bush pig (but not to be confused with ''P. larvatus'', common name "bushpig"), is a wild member of the pig family living in Africa, with most of its distribution in the Guinean and Congolian forests. It is rarely seen away from rainforests, and generally prefers areas near rivers or swamps.〔Kingdon, J. (1997). ''The Kingdon Guide to African Mammals.'' Academic Press Limited, London.
