Ostrich
The kick that thinks it is a dinosaur.
MEET THE FIGHTERS
Ostrich vs Warthog
Tonight's science rumble is set in the visitor lawn, now closed for SCIENCE. No snacks were harmed.
Ostrich
Struthio camelus
An ostrich egg is about 15 cm long and could make breakfast for a whole team.
Plants, seeds, insects, and the occasional lizard. Not picky.
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.
