Hyena vs Capybara
Tonight's science rumble is set in the empty savanna exhibit after closing time. 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.
Capybara
Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris
Capybaras are the largest rodents on Earth.
Grasses and water plants. They graze like tiny, sociable hippos.
Who do YOU think wins?
