Tonight's science rumble is set in the empty savanna exhibit after closing time. No snacks were harmed.
Capybara
Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris

Grasses and water plants. They graze like tiny, sociable hippos.

Nine-banded armadillos usually have identical quadruplets.
Insects, grubs, and the occasional small snack. A sticky tongue helps.
