MEET THE FIGHTERS
Cheetah vs Komodo Dragon
Tonight's science rumble is set in a sunny arena with a splash pool nobody is allowed to hog. 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.

Varanus komodoensis
Komodo dragons can smell a meal from several kilometers away.
Deer, pigs, water buffalo, even other dragons. Growing teens will try anything.
Who do YOU think wins?
