MEET THE FIGHTERS
Koala vs Cheetah
Tonight's science rumble is set in the empty savanna exhibit after closing time. No snacks were harmed.
Koala
Phascolarctos cinereus
A koala's fingerprint looks a lot like a human's. Weird science.
Almost only eucalyptus. Most of those leaves would upset other animals' stomachs.
Cheetah
Acinonyx jubatus
A cheetah's tail is a rudder. It steers mid-sprint like a boat.
They prefer gazelles and other speedy snacks they can outrun.
Who do YOU think wins?
