HOOT-PANT
Chimpanzee
The tool-using cousin with a wild side.
MEET THE FIGHTERS
Chimpanzee vs Hyena
Tonight's science rumble is set in a rumble pit drawn in chalk by very excited zookeepers. 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.
Hyena
Crocuta crocuta
A hyena's whoop can travel 5 kilometers.
They hunt more than they scavenge. Wildebeest, zebra, leftovers — in that order when possible.
Who do YOU think wins?
WHOOP-HAHA
Hyena
The bone-crunching comedian of the savanna.
