Beauty??

You know how physical attraction is perceived differently by everyone, for instance someone I may find handsome, someone else wouldn't throw a stick at and someone who thinks he has the most beautiful wife in the world may look like a junk yard dog to his buddy. I can understand these differences because I know everyone has different tastes in everything, hence the phrase, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" BUT, What if everyone looked alike?
I was thinking about this yesterday while at the zoo, watching the Warthogs. Just what would make a boy Warthog, (who is the ugliest animal, in my eye anyway) sidle up to a girl Warthog and ask her to the prom? I know in the animal kingdom, scent plays a large part in the mating game so maybe he doesn't necessarily view her as "pretty" so much as her "scent"
(translation: stink) moves him to thoughts of spring and romps in the mud hole. But with Warthogs and Rhinos they not only look alike but when lying down, greatly resemble large rocks. Perhaps many a warthog has been very embarrassed upon finding that the girl
he merely thought as shy when she didn't respond to his sweet whisperings was in fact a rock.
AND what is up with that name? Take two of the most unpleasant words in the English language, WART and HOG and put them together to name an animal that by any other name would smell as sweet (Or Not) Also Warthogs and Rhinos are the slowest moving animals
(in captivity, in the wild, they can work up some speed) it makes you wonder where baby Warthogs and Rhinos come from. So if beauty is in the eye of the beholder, how do they view us? As I was walking away from the warthog exhibit, I'm sure I heard one say to the other, "I just saw the ugliest thing, You'd never believe it!"
