WHOOP-HAHA
Hyena
The bone-crunching comedian of the savanna.
MEET THE FIGHTERS
Hyena vs Eagle
Tonight's science rumble is set in a rumble pit drawn in chalk by very excited zookeepers. 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.
Eagle
Haliaeetus leucocephalus
The famous movie scream is often a red-tailed hawk. Eagles sound squeakier.
Fish first, plus water birds and carrion. They are not too proud for leftovers.
Who do YOU think wins?
KLEEK-KIK
Eagle
A sky hammer with talons like grappling hooks.
