MEET THE FIGHTERS
Cheetah vs Jaguar
Tonight's science rumble is set in the visitor lawn, now closed for SCIENCE. 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.
Jaguar
Panthera onca
Jaguars often kill with one bite to the skull. Efficient. Intense. Not a hug.
Capybara, deer, fish, caimans — the menu is the whole forest.
Who do YOU think wins?
UH-UH-GRUNT
Jaguar
The skull-cracker of the rainforest.
