MEET THE FIGHTERS
Eagle vs Warthog
Tonight's science rumble is set in the visitor lawn, now closed for SCIENCE. No snacks were harmed.
Eagle
Haliaeetus leucocephalus
The famous movie scream is often a red-tailed hawk. Eagles sound squeakier.
Fish first, plus water birds and carrion. They are not too proud for leftovers.
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?
GRUNT-SQUEE
Warthog
A tusked sprinter who reverse-parks into burrows.
