MEET THE FIGHTERS
Chimpanzee vs Giraffe
Tonight's science rumble is set in the visitor lawn, now closed for SCIENCE. 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.
Giraffe
Giraffa camelopardalis
A giraffe's tongue can be 45 cm long and is often purple-black.
Giraffes nibble acacia leaves, tongues and all. Thorns? Merely crunchy.
Who do YOU think wins?
WHOMP
Giraffe
A living watchtower with a killer kick.
