MEET THE FIGHTERS
Cougar vs Warthog
Tonight's science rumble is set in a sunny arena with a splash pool nobody is allowed to hog. No snacks were harmed.
Cougar
Puma concolor
Also called puma, panther, and mountain lion. Same cat, many nametags.
Deer are favorite. Also raccoons, hares, and whatever the neighborhood offers.
Warthog
Phacochoerus africanus
The tail stands up when they run — a follow-me flag for piglets.
Grass, roots, and leftovers. They kneel on padded wrists to graze.
Who do YOU think wins?
