MEET THE FIGHTERS
Okapi vs Eagle
Tonight's science rumble is set in the visitor lawn, now closed for SCIENCE. 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.
Eagle
Haliaeetus leucocephalus
The famous movie scream is often a red-tailed hawk. Eagles sound squeakier.
Fish first, plus water birds and carrion. They are not too proud for leftovers.
Who do YOU think wins?
KLEEK-KIK
Eagle
A sky hammer with talons like grappling hooks.
