BOOM-KICK
Ostrich
The kick that thinks it is a dinosaur.
MEET THE FIGHTERS
Ostrich vs Anteater
Tonight's science rumble is set in the empty savanna exhibit after closing time. No snacks were harmed.
Ostrich
Struthio camelus
An ostrich egg is about 15 cm long and could make breakfast for a whole team.
Plants, seeds, insects, and the occasional lizard. Not picky.
Anteater
Myrmecophaga tridactyla
The tongue can be 60 cm long and flick 150 times a minute.
Ants and termites. Tens of thousands a day. They do not chew; they slurp.
Who do YOU think wins?
SNUFF-SLURP
Anteater
A vacuum cleaner with wrecking-ball claws.
