MEET THE FIGHTERS
Alligator vs King Cobra
Tonight's science rumble is set in the visitor lawn, now closed for SCIENCE. 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.
King Cobra
Ophiophagus hannah
It is the world's longest venomous snake, often over 4 meters.
Mostly other snakes. The king in the name is not a joke.
Who do YOU think wins?
