WHOOP-HAHA
Hyena
The bone-crunching comedian of the savanna.
MEET THE FIGHTERS
Hyena vs Tapir
Tonight's science rumble is set in a sunny arena with a splash pool nobody is allowed to hog. 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.
Tapir
Tapirus terrestris
Tapirs have been around for millions of years. Living fossils with a snorkel.
Leaves, fruit, and shoots. They plant forests by pooping seeds. Heroic and weird.
Who do YOU think wins?
WHEE-SQUEAK
Tapir
A forest tank with a mini trunk.
