Orangutan vs Boa
Tonight's science rumble is set in a rumble pit drawn in chalk by very excited zookeepers. 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.
Boa
Boa constrictor
Boas give birth to live young, like anacondas.
Rodents, birds, lizards — medium meals, no need to be famous about it.
Who do YOU think wins?
