MEET THE FIGHTERS
Red Panda vs Okapi
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.
Okapi
Okapia johnstoni
An okapi's tongue can be 45 cm long and is often dark, like a giraffe's.
Leaves, fruit, and fungi. A long tongue steals lunch from thorny branches.
Who do YOU think wins?
