SCREAM-PURR
Cougar
The quiet jumper with a hundred nicknames.
MEET THE FIGHTERS
Cougar vs Tapir
Tonight's science rumble is set in a giant zoo clearing at high noon. 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.
Tapir
Tapirus terrestris
Tapirs have been around for millions of years. Living fossils with a snorkel.
Leaves, fruit, and shoots. They plant forests by pooping seeds. Heroic and weird.
Who do YOU think wins?
WHEE-SQUEAK
Tapir
A forest tank with a mini trunk.
