MEET THE FIGHTERS
Gorilla vs Boa
Tonight's science rumble is set in the visitor lawn, now closed for SCIENCE. No snacks were harmed.
Gorilla
Gorilla gorilla
Gorillas share about 98% of their DNA with humans.
Mostly leaves, stems, and fruit. Huge herbivores, huge appetites.
Boa
Boa constrictor
Boas give birth to live young, like anacondas.
Rodents, birds, lizards — medium meals, no need to be famous about it.
Who do YOU think wins?
Sss-SQUEEZE
Boa
A rainforest squeeze with a calm face.
