Giraffe vs Hippo
Tonight's science rumble is set in the visitor lawn, now closed for SCIENCE. No snacks were harmed.
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.
Hippo
Hippopotamus amphibius
Hippo sweat looks reddish. People called it blood-sweat. It is really a natural sunscreen.
Hippos graze grass at night. By day they soak and... argue.
Who do YOU think wins?

A floating boulder with kitchen-knife tusks.
