Red Panda
A rusty acrobat who would rather nap than rumble.
MEET THE FIGHTERS
Red Panda vs Gorilla
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.
Gorilla
Gorilla gorilla
Gorillas share about 98% of their DNA with humans.
Mostly leaves, stems, and fruit. Huge herbivores, huge appetites.
Who do YOU think wins?
HOOT-HOOT-BAM
Gorilla
A quiet giant until the chest-thump starts.
