MEET THE FIGHTERS
Cougar vs Anaconda
Tonight's science rumble is set in the visitor lawn, now closed for SCIENCE. No snacks were harmed.
Cougar
Puma concolor
Also called puma, panther, and mountain lion. Same cat, many nametags.
Deer are favorite. Also raccoons, hares, and whatever the neighborhood offers.
Anaconda
Eunectes murinus
Green anacondas are among the heaviest snakes on Earth.
Capybara, fish, birds, caimans — if it comes to the water's edge, it is on the maybe list.
Who do YOU think wins?
