Chimpanzee vs Gorilla
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.
Gorilla
Gorilla gorilla
Gorillas share about 98% of their DNA with humans.
Mostly leaves, stems, and fruit. Huge herbivores, huge appetites.
Who do YOU think wins?
HOOT-HOOT-BAM
Gorilla
A quiet giant until the chest-thump starts.
