MEET THE FIGHTERS
Cheetah vs Ostrich
Tonight's science rumble is set in the picnic meadow, sandwiches evacuated. 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.
Ostrich
Struthio camelus
An ostrich egg is about 15 cm long and could make breakfast for a whole team.
Plants, seeds, insects, and the occasional lizard. Not picky.
Who do YOU think wins?
BOOM-KICK
Ostrich
The kick that thinks it is a dinosaur.
