A sky hammer with talons like grappling hooks.
MEET THE FIGHTERS
Eagle vs Cheetah
Tonight's science rumble is set in the visitor lawn, now closed for SCIENCE. No snacks were harmed.
Eagle
Haliaeetus leucocephalus
The famous movie scream is often a red-tailed hawk. Eagles sound squeakier.
Fish first, plus water birds and carrion. They are not too proud for leftovers.
Cheetah
Acinonyx jubatus
A cheetah's tail is a rudder. It steers mid-sprint like a boat.
They prefer gazelles and other speedy snacks they can outrun.
Who do YOU think wins?
