MEET THE FIGHTERS
Cheetah vs Cassowary
Tonight's science rumble is set in the picnic meadow, sandwiches evacuated. 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.
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.
Who do YOU think wins?
BOOM-RUMBLE
Cassowary
The rainforest's dinosaur that never left.
