MEET THE FIGHTERS
Cheetah vs Meerkat
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.
Meerkat
Suricata suricatta
Meerkats have dark eye patches that work like built-in sunglasses.
Insects, scorpions, eggs, and the occasional lizard. They even eat venomous scorpions.
Who do YOU think wins?
CHK-CHK-ALARM
Meerkat
The smallest fighter with the biggest sentry energy.
