A spring with horns and a stotting hobby.
MEET THE FIGHTERS
Gazelle vs Giraffe
Tonight's science rumble is set in the visitor lawn, now closed for SCIENCE. No snacks were harmed.
Gazelle
Eudorcas thomsonii
Thomson's gazelles can keep a fast pace longer than a cheetah's sprint lasts.
Short grass. They like the lawn freshly mowed by bigger grazers.
Giraffe
Giraffa camelopardalis
A giraffe's tongue can be 45 cm long and is often purple-black.
Giraffes nibble acacia leaves, tongues and all. Thorns? Merely crunchy.
Who do YOU think wins?
WHOMP
Giraffe
A living watchtower with a killer kick.
