BELLOW-SNOOZE
Koala
A sleepy specialist with surprising claws.
MEET THE FIGHTERS
Koala vs Tapir
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.
Tapir
Tapirus terrestris
Tapirs have been around for millions of years. Living fossils with a snorkel.
Leaves, fruit, and shoots. They plant forests by pooping seeds. Heroic and weird.
Who do YOU think wins?
WHEE-SQUEAK
Tapir
A forest tank with a mini trunk.
