MEET THE FIGHTERS
Lion vs Gorilla
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.
Gorilla
Gorilla gorilla
Gorillas share about 98% of their DNA with humans.
Mostly leaves, stems, and fruit. Huge herbivores, huge appetites.
Who do YOU think wins?
HOOT-HOOT-BAM
Gorilla
A quiet giant until the chest-thump starts.
