MEET THE FIGHTERS
Lemur vs Warthog
Tonight's science rumble is set in a rumble pit drawn in chalk by very excited zookeepers. No snacks were harmed.
Lemur
Lemur catta
A lemur's tail has 13 or so black-and-white rings. It is a flag and a balancing pole.
Fruit, leaves, bark, and the occasional insect snack.
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?
