MEET THE FIGHTERS
Cassowary vs Camel
Tonight's science rumble is set in the empty savanna exhibit after closing time. No snacks were harmed.
Cassowary
Casuarius casuarius
Dads sit on the eggs and raise the striped chicks.
Mostly fruit. They are forest gardeners who accidentally plant trees with leftovers.
Camel
Camelus dromedarius
The hump stores fat, not water. Fat is backup batteries.
Tough desert plants other animals will not touch. Thorns included.
Who do YOU think wins?
GUUUURGH
Camel
A desert ship with a surprise kick.
