Kangaroo vs Red Panda
Tonight's science rumble is set in the empty savanna exhibit after closing time. 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.
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.
