Rattlesnake vs Armadillo
Tonight's science rumble is set in a giant zoo clearing at high noon. No snacks were harmed.
Rattlesnake
Crotalus atrox
A new rattle segment is added each time they shed.
Mice, rats, rabbits — small warm snacks of the desert.
Armadillo
Dasypus novemcinctus
Nine-banded armadillos usually have identical quadruplets.
Insects, grubs, and the occasional small snack. A sticky tongue helps.
Who do YOU think wins?
