Crocodile vs Warthog
Tonight's science rumble is set in the visitor lawn, now closed for SCIENCE. No snacks were harmed.
Crocodile
Crocodylus niloticus
Crocodiles have been around since the time of dinosaurs.
Fish, mammals, birds — if it comes to the water's edge, it is on the menu.
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?
