MEET THE FIGHTERS
Panda vs Tapir
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.
Tapir
Tapirus terrestris
Tapirs have been around for millions of years. Living fossils with a snorkel.
Leaves, fruit, and shoots. They plant forests by pooping seeds. Heroic and weird.
Who do YOU think wins?
WHEE-SQUEAK
Tapir
A forest tank with a mini trunk.
