Polar Bear vs Red Panda
Tonight's science rumble is set in a rumble pit drawn in chalk by very excited zookeepers. No snacks were harmed.
Polar Bear
Ursus maritimus
Polar bears can swim for days. They are marine mammals in a fur coat.
Mostly seals. They are the most carnivorous of all the bears.
Red Panda
Ailurus fulgens
Red pandas are mostly crepuscular — dawn and dusk are their prime time.
Mostly bamboo, plus fruit, eggs, and insects when the salad bar is closed.
Who do YOU think wins?
