Orangutan

MEET THE FIGHTERS
Orangutan vs Jaguar
Tonight's science rumble is set in a sunny arena with a splash pool nobody is allowed to hog. 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.
Jaguar
Panthera onca
Jaguars often kill with one bite to the skull. Efficient. Intense. Not a hug.
Capybara, deer, fish, caimans — the menu is the whole forest.
Who do YOU think wins?
UH-UH-GRUNT
Jaguar
The skull-cracker of the rainforest.
