MEET THE FIGHTERS
Gorilla vs Cassowary
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.
Cassowary
Casuarius casuarius
Dads sit on the eggs and raise the striped chicks.
Mostly fruit. They are forest gardeners who accidentally plant trees with leftovers.
Who do YOU think wins?
BOOM-RUMBLE
Cassowary
The rainforest's dinosaur that never left.
