MEET THE FIGHTERS
Rattlesnake vs Snow Leopard
Tonight's science rumble is set in a rumble pit drawn in chalk by very excited zookeepers. 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.
Snow Leopard
Panthera uncia
The tail is used for balance and as a wrap-around scarf in sleep.
Blue sheep, ibex, and the occasional livestock snack when wild food is scarce.
Who do YOU think wins?
CHUFF-YOWL
