A rusty acrobat who would rather nap than rumble.
MEET THE FIGHTERS
Red Panda vs Cheetah
Tonight's science rumble is set in the empty savanna exhibit after closing time. 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.
Cheetah
Acinonyx jubatus
A cheetah's tail is a rudder. It steers mid-sprint like a boat.
They prefer gazelles and other speedy snacks they can outrun.
Who do YOU think wins?
