MEET THE FIGHTERS
Cheetah vs Flamingo
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.
Flamingo
Phoenicopterus roseus
Chicks hatch gray. The pink comes later, with the shrimp.
Shrimp and algae. The pink color comes from their food. They eat their outfit.
Who do YOU think wins?
