MEET THE FIGHTERS
Rattlesnake vs Red Panda
Tonight's science rumble is set in the visitor lawn, now closed for SCIENCE. 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.
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?
