Chimpanzee vs Boa
Tonight's science rumble is set in the empty savanna exhibit after closing time. No snacks were harmed.
Chimpanzee
Pan troglodytes
Chimps share about 98% of their DNA with humans.
Fruit first, plus insects, leaves, and sometimes meat. Flexible eaters.
Boa
Boa constrictor
Boas give birth to live young, like anacondas.
Rodents, birds, lizards — medium meals, no need to be famous about it.
Who do YOU think wins?

A rainforest squeeze with a calm face.
