MEET THE FIGHTERS
Cheetah vs Grizzly Bear
Tonight's science rumble is set in the empty savanna exhibit after closing time. 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.
Grizzly Bear
Ursus arctos horribilis
Grizzlies can smell food from kilometers away.
Berries, roots, moths, moose, and a whole river of fish. Omnivore means 'yes.'
Who do YOU think wins?
WOOF-ROAR
Grizzly Bear
A mountain with claws and a short temper.
