MEET THE FIGHTERS
Camel vs Cheetah
Tonight's science rumble is set in the picnic meadow, sandwiches evacuated. No snacks were harmed.
Camel
Camelus dromedarius
The hump stores fat, not water. Fat is backup batteries.
Tough desert plants other animals will not touch. Thorns included.
Cheetah
Acinonyx jubatus
A cheetah's tail is a rudder. It steers mid-sprint like a boat.
They prefer gazelles and other speedy snacks they can outrun.
Who do YOU think wins?
