Orangutan vs Leopard
Tonight's science rumble is set in the visitor lawn, now closed for SCIENCE. 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.
Leopard
Panthera pardus
Leopards can leap 6 meters forward and 3 meters straight up.
Antelope, monkeys, birds — leopards are not picky, just sneaky.
Who do YOU think wins?
