Giraffe vs Otter
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.
Otter
Lontra canadensis
River otters can stay underwater about 4 minutes.
Fish, crayfish, frogs — they eat lunch in the pool.
Who do YOU think wins?
CHIRP-CHUCKLE
Otter
A slippery wrestler who treats rivers like gyms.
