MEET THE FIGHTERS
Chimpanzee vs Koala
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.
Koala
Phascolarctos cinereus
A koala's fingerprint looks a lot like a human's. Weird science.
Almost only eucalyptus. Most of those leaves would upset other animals' stomachs.
Who do YOU think wins?
BELLOW-SNOOZE
Koala
A sleepy specialist with surprising claws.
