MEET THE FIGHTERS
Warthog vs Gazelle
Tonight's science rumble is set in the picnic meadow, sandwiches evacuated. 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.
Gazelle
Eudorcas thomsonii
Thomson's gazelles can keep a fast pace longer than a cheetah's sprint lasts.
Short grass. They like the lawn freshly mowed by bigger grazers.
Who do YOU think wins?
SNORT-PRONK

A spring with horns and a stotting hobby.
