Capybara vs Snow Leopard
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.
Snow Leopard
Panthera uncia
The tail is used for balance and as a wrap-around scarf in sleep.
Blue sheep, ibex, and the occasional livestock snack when wild food is scarce.
Who do YOU think wins?
CHUFF-YOWL
