MEET THE FIGHTERS
Cassowary vs Snow Leopard
Tonight's science rumble is set in a giant zoo clearing at high noon. 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.
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
Snow Leopard
A ghost cat with a tail like a scarf.
