Cheetah vs Lemur
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.
Lemur
Lemur catta
A lemur's tail has 13 or so black-and-white rings. It is a flag and a balancing pole.
Fruit, leaves, bark, and the occasional insect snack.
Who do YOU think wins?
MEOW-HOWL

A striped-tail spring with a lot of opinions.
