MEET THE FIGHTERS
Warthog vs Sea Lion
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.
Sea Lion
Zalophus californianus
Sea lions can hold their breath for about 10 minutes.
Fish, squid, and the occasional unfortunate leftover from the ocean buffet.
Who do YOU think wins?
ARK-ARK-ARK
Sea Lion
A barking torpedo in a wet tuxedo.
