WHOOP-HAHA
Hyena
The bone-crunching comedian of the savanna.
MEET THE FIGHTERS
Hyena vs Tortoise
Tonight's science rumble is set in the empty savanna exhibit after closing time. 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.
Tortoise
Chelonoidis niger
Giant tortoises can live more than 100 years.
Cactus, grass, and island plants. They are living lawn mowers with a 100-year warranty.
Who do YOU think wins?
HISS-HMPH
Tortoise
A walking bunker that outlives arguments.
