Cheetah vs Capybara
Tonight's science rumble is set in a rumble pit drawn in chalk by very excited zookeepers. No snacks were harmed.
Cheetah
Acinonyx jubatus
A cheetah's tail is a rudder. It steers mid-sprint like a boat.
They prefer gazelles and other speedy snacks they can outrun.
Capybara
Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris
Capybaras are the largest rodents on Earth.
Grasses and water plants. They graze like tiny, sociable hippos.
