Please understand, this conversation is not about right or wrong, its about understanding the animal(hognose) I do not know where you live, but you mentioned in your area the ground is hard. Then you mention going south where the ground is not and there's more hogs.
This does bring up a great point. In the areas I am working hogs, one is very soft soils and most of what they do is underground. As far as I can tell, they only come to the surface to move to another area of to/of burrows. The other site I am looking at has rock hard ground, for the most part.
In the area of soft substrate, they are a dominate species. In the hardpacked area, they are not, in fact fairly rare.
This hinds of what there design is good for. Where do they compete the best.
In ethology, they say, species, subspecies, etc, are not important. All snakes were/are something on its way to being something else. (Ube Krebs,PHD)
