MEET THE FIGHTERS
Alligator vs Eagle
Tonight's science rumble is set in a rumble pit drawn in chalk by very excited zookeepers. No snacks were harmed.
Alligator
Alligator mississippiensis
Alligators bellow in spring; the water around them actually dances.
Fish, turtles, birds, mammals — swamp buffet, all you can chomp.
Eagle
Haliaeetus leucocephalus
The famous movie scream is often a red-tailed hawk. Eagles sound squeakier.
Fish first, plus water birds and carrion. They are not too proud for leftovers.
Who do YOU think wins?
KLEEK-KIK
Eagle
A sky hammer with talons like grappling hooks.
