Kangaroo vs Anteater
Tonight's science rumble is set in the visitor lawn, now closed for SCIENCE. No snacks were harmed.
Kangaroo
Macropus rufus
Kangaroos cannot hop backward. The contract with physics is one-way.
Grasses and shrubs. They are hoppy lawn mowers.
Anteater
Myrmecophaga tridactyla
The tongue can be 60 cm long and flick 150 times a minute.
Ants and termites. Tens of thousands a day. They do not chew; they slurp.
Who do YOU think wins?

Anteater
A vacuum cleaner with wrecking-ball claws.
