MEET THE FIGHTERS
Okapi vs Cassowary
Tonight's science rumble is set in the empty savanna exhibit after closing time. No snacks were harmed.
Okapi
Okapia johnstoni
An okapi's tongue can be 45 cm long and is often dark, like a giraffe's.
Leaves, fruit, and fungi. A long tongue steals lunch from thorny branches.
Cassowary
Casuarius casuarius
Dads sit on the eggs and raise the striped chicks.
Mostly fruit. They are forest gardeners who accidentally plant trees with leftovers.
Who do YOU think wins?
