Cassowary
The rainforest's dinosaur that never left.
MEET THE FIGHTERS
Cassowary vs Jaguar
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.
Jaguar
Panthera onca
Jaguars often kill with one bite to the skull. Efficient. Intense. Not a hug.
Capybara, deer, fish, caimans — the menu is the whole forest.
Who do YOU think wins?
UH-UH-GRUNT
Jaguar
The skull-cracker of the rainforest.
