MEET THE FIGHTERS
Warthog vs Sloth
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.
Sloth
Bradypus variegatus
Sloths come down from trees about once a week. Bathroom break. Very scheduled.
Leaves. Chewing is a lifestyle. Digestion can take a week.
Who do YOU think wins?
MEEP-SIGH
Sloth
The slowest fighter with the strongest grip.
