MEET THE FIGHTERS
Okapi vs King Cobra
Tonight's science rumble is set in a giant zoo clearing at high noon. 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.
King Cobra
Ophiophagus hannah
It is the world's longest venomous snake, often over 4 meters.
Mostly other snakes. The king in the name is not a joke.
Who do YOU think wins?
