Tonight's science rumble is set in the visitor lawn, now closed for SCIENCE. No snacks were harmed.
Anteater
Myrmecophaga tridactyla
The tongue can be 60 cm long and flick 150 times a minute.
Ants and termites. Tens of thousands a day. They do not chew; they slurp.
Grizzly Bear
Ursus arctos horribilis
Grizzlies can smell food from kilometers away.
Berries, roots, moths, moose, and a whole river of fish. Omnivore means 'yes.'
Who do YOU think wins?
