Tonight's science rumble is set in the visitor lawn, now closed for SCIENCE. No snacks were harmed.
Crocodile
Crocodylus niloticus
Crocodiles have been around since the time of dinosaurs.
Fish, mammals, birds — if it comes to the water's edge, it is on the menu.
Gorilla
Gorilla gorilla
Gorillas share about 98% of their DNA with humans.
Mostly leaves, stems, and fruit. Huge herbivores, huge appetites.
Who do YOU think wins?
