Anteater vs Jaguar
Tonight's science rumble is set in the picnic meadow, sandwiches evacuated. 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.
Jaguar
Panthera onca
Jaguars often kill with one bite to the skull. Efficient. Intense. Not a hug.
Capybara, deer, fish, caimans — the menu is the whole forest.
Who do YOU think wins?
