MEET THE FIGHTERS
Chimpanzee vs Sea Lion
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.
Sea Lion
Zalophus californianus
Sea lions can hold their breath for about 10 minutes.
Fish, squid, and the occasional unfortunate leftover from the ocean buffet.
Who do YOU think wins?
ARK-ARK-ARK
Sea Lion
A barking torpedo in a wet tuxedo.
