Red Panda
A rusty acrobat who would rather nap than rumble.
Red Panda vs Cassowary
Tonight's science rumble is set in the visitor lawn, now closed for SCIENCE. No snacks were harmed.
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.
Cassowary
Casuarius casuarius
Dads sit on the eggs and raise the striped chicks.
Mostly fruit. They are forest gardeners who accidentally plant trees with leftovers.
Who do YOU think wins?

Cassowary
The rainforest's dinosaur that never left.
