Hyena
The bone-crunching comedian of the savanna.
MEET THE FIGHTERS
Hyena vs Gazelle
Tonight's science rumble is set in a giant zoo clearing at high noon. 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.
Gazelle
Eudorcas thomsonii
Thomson's gazelles can keep a fast pace longer than a cheetah's sprint lasts.
Short grass. They like the lawn freshly mowed by bigger grazers.
Who do YOU think wins?
SNORT-PRONK
Gazelle
A spring with horns and a stotting hobby.
