SCREAM-PURR
Cougar
The quiet jumper with a hundred nicknames.
MEET THE FIGHTERS
Cougar vs Red Panda
Tonight's science rumble is set in a rumble pit drawn in chalk by very excited zookeepers. 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.
Red Panda
Ailurus fulgens
Red pandas are mostly crepuscular — dawn and dusk are their prime time.
Mostly bamboo, plus fruit, eggs, and insects when the salad bar is closed.
Who do YOU think wins?
SQUEAK-TWITTER
Red Panda
A rusty acrobat who would rather nap than rumble.
