Orangutan vs Tiger
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.
Tiger
Panthera tigris
No two tigers have the same stripe pattern. It's a fingerprint in fur.
Tigers eat deer, wild boar, and just about anything they can overpower.
Who do YOU think wins?
