A warthog is essentially a wild pig so when a warthog is relaxed and contented, eating, digging around in the dirt or wallowing in mud, it makes a grunting noise much like a pig. When it is alarmed and senses danger, it will make a higher pitched squealing noise - particularly the younger ones. They are often chased by lions and again will squeal as they run to escape with their tails erect.

Can a longbow helicpter replace the role of A10 Warthog plane in battle?
No, however it's not a matter of replacing. The CAS or close air support role, requires detailed integration of many assets each bringing their own pro's and con's to the fight. It also depends on the threat, terrain, etc. Not to mention the amount of ordnance the hog can bring to the fight, extended loiter time, durability, and overall fire power. The bottom line, both are integral parts of the CAS war!

trees eat soil WRONG trees don't eat...they use a process called photosynthesis which uses energy such as heat from the sun which is captured by chlorophyll (housed in chloroplasts[a subunit inside a cell]) and converted into energy which is most commonly observed as glucose (simple sugars = the building blocks of life). It should also be noted that oxygen is a byproduct created by this process. Please note that this process occurs in the leaves.
