MEET THE FIGHTERS
Rattlesnake vs Warthog
Tonight's science rumble is set in the picnic meadow, sandwiches evacuated. No snacks were harmed.
Rattlesnake
Crotalus atrox
A new rattle segment is added each time they shed.
Mice, rats, rabbits — small warm snacks of the desert.
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.
