Tonight's science rumble is set in a giant zoo clearing at high noon. 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.
Elephant
Loxodonta africana
Elephants can hear thunder from kilometers away through their feet.
Elephants munch 150 kg of plants a day. They are walking salad factories.
