MEET THE FIGHTERS
Orangutan vs Peacock
Tonight's science rumble is set in a giant zoo clearing at high noon. 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.
Peacock
Pavo cristatus
The train is not the tail. The real tail holds the train up. Engineering!
Seeds, insects, small reptiles. Pretty birds still have to eat lunch.
Who do YOU think wins?
KAA-YOWL
Peacock
A walking fireworks show with spurs.
