MEET THE FIGHTERS
Panda vs Warthog
Tonight's science rumble is set in the visitor lawn, now closed for SCIENCE. No snacks were harmed.
Panda
Ailuropoda melanoleuca
A newborn panda is about the size of a stick of butter.
Almost all bamboo, all day. They eat 12 hours to stay fueled.
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.
