MEET THE FIGHTERS
Lion vs Giraffe
Tonight's science rumble is set in the empty savanna exhibit after closing time. No snacks were harmed.
Lion
Panthera leo
A lion can eat 15% of its body weight in one feast.
Lions hunt antelope, zebra, and even buffalo — usually as a team.
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.
