MEET THE FIGHTERS
Warthog vs Armadillo
Tonight's science rumble is set in a giant zoo clearing at high noon. No snacks were harmed.
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.
Armadillo
Dasypus novemcinctus
Nine-banded armadillos usually have identical quadruplets.
Insects, grubs, and the occasional small snack. A sticky tongue helps.
Who do YOU think wins?
GRUNT-SCRITCH
Armadillo
A walking helmet that sometimes becomes a soccer ball.
