MEET THE FIGHTERS
Peacock vs Tapir
Tonight's science rumble is set in the empty savanna exhibit after closing time. No snacks were harmed.
Peacock
Pavo cristatus
The train is not the tail. The real tail holds the train up. Engineering!
Seeds, insects, small reptiles. Pretty birds still have to eat lunch.
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.
