This is a warty-pig also called warthog, according to the zoo labeling. I think they're cute, especially the little fluff down the back. Might not want one as a pet, though :-)
Processing:
Crop
Color Efex Pro midnight filter on new layer, erased a bit here and there on the warthog (copied Jutilda on this trick :-)
Silver Efex Pro to convert to b&w
Paint black on new layer in soft light mode to darken background
Dodge little hairs on forehead and down back, also whites of eye
Levels adjustment

Super cool processing on this. Very nice... looks almost like an artist's rendering on scratchboard.
