BELLOW-SNOOZE
Koala
A sleepy specialist with surprising claws.
MEET THE FIGHTERS
Koala vs Giraffe
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.
Giraffe
Giraffa camelopardalis
A giraffe's tongue can be 45 cm long and is often purple-black.
Giraffes nibble acacia leaves, tongues and all. Thorns? Merely crunchy.
Who do YOU think wins?
WHOMP
Giraffe
A living watchtower with a killer kick.
