UH-UH-GRUNT
Jaguar
The skull-cracker of the rainforest.
MEET THE FIGHTERS
Jaguar vs Red Panda
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.
Red Panda
Ailurus fulgens
Red pandas are mostly crepuscular — dawn and dusk are their prime time.
Mostly bamboo, plus fruit, eggs, and insects when the salad bar is closed.
Who do YOU think wins?
SQUEAK-TWITTER
Red Panda
A rusty acrobat who would rather nap than rumble.
