MEET THE FIGHTERS
Gorilla vs Walrus
Tonight's science rumble is set in the empty savanna exhibit after closing time. 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.
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

A tusked sofa that rules the ice.
