WHOOP-HAHA
Hyena
The bone-crunching comedian of the savanna.
MEET THE FIGHTERS
Hyena vs Giraffe
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.
Giraffe
Giraffa camelopardalis
A giraffe's tongue can be 45 cm long and is often purple-black.
Giraffes nibble acacia leaves, tongues and all. Thorns? Merely crunchy.
Who do YOU think wins?
WHOMP
Giraffe
A living watchtower with a killer kick.
