Lemur vs Snow Leopard
Tonight's science rumble is set in the picnic meadow, sandwiches evacuated. No snacks were harmed.
Lemur
Lemur catta
A lemur's tail has 13 or so black-and-white rings. It is a flag and a balancing pole.
Fruit, leaves, bark, and the occasional insect snack.
Snow Leopard
Panthera uncia
The tail is used for balance and as a wrap-around scarf in sleep.
Blue sheep, ibex, and the occasional livestock snack when wild food is scarce.
Who do YOU think wins?
