Chimpanzee vs Otter
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.
Otter
Lontra canadensis
River otters can stay underwater about 4 minutes.
