Otter vs Warthog
Tonight's science rumble is set in the visitor lawn, now closed for SCIENCE. No snacks were harmed.
Otter
Lontra canadensis
River otters can stay underwater about 4 minutes.
Fish, crayfish, frogs — they eat lunch in the pool.
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
