MEET THE FIGHTERS
Hyena vs Komodo Dragon
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.
Komodo Dragon
Varanus komodoensis
Komodo dragons can smell a meal from several kilometers away.
Deer, pigs, water buffalo, even other dragons. Growing teens will try anything.
Who do YOU think wins?
HISS-CHOMP
Komodo Dragon
A walking dinosaur with a chemistry set.
