MEET THE FIGHTERS
Koala vs Chimpanzee
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.
Chimpanzee
Pan troglodytes
Chimps share about 98% of their DNA with humans.
Fruit first, plus insects, leaves, and sometimes meat. Flexible eaters.
Who do YOU think wins?
HOOT-PANT
