HOOT-HOOT-BAM
Gorilla
A quiet giant until the chest-thump starts.
MEET THE FIGHTERS
Gorilla vs Koala
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.
Koala
Phascolarctos cinereus
A koala's fingerprint looks a lot like a human's. Weird science.
Almost only eucalyptus. Most of those leaves would upset other animals' stomachs.
Who do YOU think wins?
BELLOW-SNOOZE
Koala
A sleepy specialist with surprising claws.
