MEET THE FIGHTERS
Sloth vs Gorilla
Tonight's science rumble is set in the empty savanna exhibit after closing time. No snacks were harmed.
Sloth
Bradypus variegatus
Sloths come down from trees about once a week. Bathroom break. Very scheduled.
Leaves. Chewing is a lifestyle. Digestion can take a week.
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.
