Hyena vs Baboon
Tonight's science rumble is set in the visitor lawn, now closed for SCIENCE. No snacks were harmed.
Hyena
Crocuta crocuta
A hyena's whoop can travel 5 kilometers.
They hunt more than they scavenge. Wildebeest, zebra, leftovers — in that order when possible.
Baboon
Papio anubis
Baboons keep a lookout while others forage. Safety is a job.
Fruit, grass, insects, and the occasional small animal. Flexible and fearless at picnic tables.
Who do YOU think wins?
WAHOO-BARK
Baboon
A troop-tough primate with serious canine teeth.
