MEET THE FIGHTERS
Sea Lion vs Cheetah
Tonight's science rumble is set in the empty savanna exhibit after closing time. No snacks were harmed.
Sea Lion
Zalophus californianus
Sea lions can hold their breath for about 10 minutes.
Fish, squid, and the occasional unfortunate leftover from the ocean buffet.
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?
