Cassowary vs Sloth
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.
Sloth
Bradypus variegatus
Sloths come down from trees about once a week. Bathroom break. Very scheduled.
Leaves. Chewing is a lifestyle. Digestion can take a week.
Who do YOU think wins?
