MEET THE FIGHTERS
Orangutan vs Anaconda
Tonight's science rumble is set in the picnic meadow, sandwiches evacuated. No snacks were harmed.
Orangutan
Pongo pygmaeus
Orangutan means 'person of the forest' in Malay.
Mostly fruit, plus leaves, bark, and the occasional insect snack.
Anaconda
Eunectes murinus
Green anacondas are among the heaviest snakes on Earth.
Capybara, fish, birds, caimans — if it comes to the water's edge, it is on the maybe list.
