MEET THE FIGHTERS
Orangutan vs King Cobra
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.
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?
