MEET THE FIGHTERS
Panda vs Gorilla
Tonight's science rumble is set in the empty savanna exhibit after closing time. 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.
Gorilla
Gorilla gorilla
Gorillas share about 98% of their DNA with humans.
Mostly leaves, stems, and fruit. Huge herbivores, huge appetites.
Who do YOU think wins?

A quiet giant until the chest-thump starts.
