The skull-cracker of the rainforest.
MEET THE FIGHTERS
Jaguar vs Okapi
Tonight's science rumble is set in the empty savanna exhibit after closing time. No snacks were harmed.
Jaguar
Panthera onca
Jaguars often kill with one bite to the skull. Efficient. Intense. Not a hug.
Capybara, deer, fish, caimans — the menu is the whole forest.
Okapi
Okapia johnstoni
An okapi's tongue can be 45 cm long and is often dark, like a giraffe's.
Leaves, fruit, and fungi. A long tongue steals lunch from thorny branches.
Who do YOU think wins?
