Rattlesnake vs Sloth
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.

Leaves. Chewing is a lifestyle. Digestion can take a week.
Who do YOU think wins?
