MEET THE FIGHTERS
Rattlesnake vs Meerkat
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.
Meerkat
Suricata suricatta
Meerkats have dark eye patches that work like built-in sunglasses.
Insects, scorpions, eggs, and the occasional lizard. They even eat venomous scorpions.
Who do YOU think wins?
