MEET THE FIGHTERS
Lion vs Tapir
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.
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.
