MEET THE FIGHTERS
Warthog vs Koala
Tonight's science rumble is set in the visitor lawn, now closed for SCIENCE. 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.
Koala
Phascolarctos cinereus
A koala's fingerprint looks a lot like a human's. Weird science.
Almost only eucalyptus. Most of those leaves would upset other animals' stomachs.
Who do YOU think wins?
BELLOW-SNOOZE
Koala
A sleepy specialist with surprising claws.
