MEET THE FIGHTERS
Warthog vs Kangaroo
Tonight's science rumble is set in the empty savanna exhibit after closing time. 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.
Kangaroo
Macropus rufus
Kangaroos cannot hop backward. The contract with physics is one-way.
Grasses and shrubs. They are hoppy lawn mowers.
Who do YOU think wins?
