MEET THE FIGHTERS
Warthog vs Ostrich
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.
Ostrich
Struthio camelus
An ostrich egg is about 15 cm long and could make breakfast for a whole team.
Plants, seeds, insects, and the occasional lizard. Not picky.
Who do YOU think wins?
BOOM-KICK
Ostrich
The kick that thinks it is a dinosaur.
