MEET THE FIGHTERS
Capybara vs Hyena
Tonight's science rumble is set in the empty savanna exhibit after closing time. No snacks were harmed.
Capybara
Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris
Capybaras are the largest rodents on Earth.
Grasses and water plants. They graze like tiny, sociable hippos.
Hyena
Crocuta crocuta
A hyena's whoop can travel 5 kilometers.
They hunt more than they scavenge. Wildebeest, zebra, leftovers — in that order when possible.
Who do YOU think wins?
WHOOP-HAHA
Hyena
The bone-crunching comedian of the savanna.
