MEET THE FIGHTERS
Cassowary vs Walrus
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.
Walrus
Odobenus rosmarus
A walrus mustache has hundreds of whiskers, each a sensor.
Clams, mostly. Sensitive whiskers find shells in the dark mud.
Who do YOU think wins?
BELLOW-OONG
Walrus
A tusked sofa that rules the ice.
