MEET THE FIGHTERS
Giraffe vs Walrus
Tonight's science rumble is set in the empty savanna exhibit after closing time. 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.
Walrus
Odobenus rosmarus
A walrus mustache has hundreds of whiskers, each a sensor.
Clams, mostly. Sensitive whiskers find shells in the dark mud.
Who do YOU think wins?
BELLOW-OONG
Walrus
A tusked sofa that rules the ice.
