Gazelle vs Red Panda
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.
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.
