Tonight's science rumble is set in the visitor lawn, now closed for SCIENCE. No snacks were harmed.
Panda
Ailuropoda melanoleuca
A newborn panda is about the size of a stick of butter.
Almost all bamboo, all day. They eat 12 hours to stay fueled.
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?
