Elephant + Warthog

Unlikely Allies With Surprisingly Good Chemistry

The elephant's dignified, long-memory diplomacy and the warthog's scrappy, rootle-through-the-mud pragmatism shouldn't work — and yet, here we are. As friends, these two find genuine common ground: both are tougher than they look and fiercely loyal once trust is earned. Romantically, the elephant will need to accept that the warthog's idea of romance involves less candlelight and more elbow grease, while the warthog must occasionally tolerate a lecture about feelings. Between the sheets, however, the elephant's emotional depth and the warthog's blunt enthusiasm don't quite find the same rhythm — think jazz versus heavy metal played simultaneously.
