On 23 December 2015, while at Naibor Camp (1o 25’ 25.76’’ S, 35o 04’ 28.05’’ E) in the Maasai Mara National Reserve, Kenya, at 1445 h I watched a large black suid cross the swollen Talek River, at a distance of no more than 30 m below and from me. Familiar with the giant forest hog from the Aberdare Mountains and the Cherangani Hills in the 1960’s, I immediately identified this as a female of this species.
