Cheetah
The land-speed record in spots.
MEET THE FIGHTERS
Cheetah vs Eagle
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.
Eagle
Haliaeetus leucocephalus
The famous movie scream is often a red-tailed hawk. Eagles sound squeakier.
Fish first, plus water birds and carrion. They are not too proud for leftovers.
Who do YOU think wins?
KLEEK-KIK
Eagle
A sky hammer with talons like grappling hooks.
