Meerkat vs Cheetah
Tonight's science rumble is set in a giant zoo clearing at high noon. No snacks were harmed.
Meerkat
Suricata suricatta
Meerkats have dark eye patches that work like built-in sunglasses.
Insects, scorpions, eggs, and the occasional lizard. They even eat venomous scorpions.
Cheetah
Acinonyx jubatus
A cheetah's tail is a rudder. It steers mid-sprint like a boat.
They prefer gazelles and other speedy snacks they can outrun.
Who do YOU think wins?
